Personally I prefer dogs over cats. I've met cats that I liked but when I sat down and thought about why I liked those particular cats it was because they acted in ways I associate more with a typical dog rather than a typical cat.

It's a personal thing. On both sides. Can't argue with that. Just accept, or avoid/ignore.

Rereading it now, too late to edit with "On both sides" i meant for both involved parties. No matter who on the human side, no matter which animal. They may all have their common traits, but they are all on a spectrum of those :-)

(just to make myself clear...)
