According to recent research, cat lovers and dog lovers are seen as two conflicting personalities.

Dog lovers are extroverted. They like to communicate with people and adhere to strict rules. In contrast, cat lovers tend to be introverted , sensitive and do not like to follow certain rules.

At the annual meeting of the Association of Psychological Scientists, researcher Denise Guastello, professor of psychology at Carroll University in Waukesha, Wisconsin, spoke on his study before the conference. He argued that the reason for the difference in personality between dog and cat breeders may be related to different habitats and preferences between the two animals.

Professor Guastello also said that dog lovers are more cheerful, because they like to go out, chat with people and take the dog for a walk. And if you are an introvert, it is more appropriate that you will be at home reading with your cat, moreover, cats do not require you to take them for a walk.

Researchers surveyed over 600 college students. Participants were asked to answer a series of questions regarding their interests and personalities associated with these two species of animals.

Among them, 60% of respondents said they belonged to the dog lover group, the remaining 11% were cat lovers. And the remaining 29% belong to the group that loves both cats and dogs or does not love any species.

Professor Guastello shared, who chose for their favorite pet based on their own personalities . Dogs are usually sociable and fun. In contrast, independence, caution, and affection are characters that attract cats.

Perhaps because of these characteristic characteristics, researchers evaluate cat lovers who tend to be smarter because they are always careful in everything they do.

However, the survey only stopped at the group of university students, so the researchers could not give accurate results in other subjects. But previous research in 2010 also yielded similar results.
