me too!!! and a real man would love my cat!!Depending on the dog, that could be a deal breaker for me.
I agree with you for the most part! I actually love both dogs and cats, and I actually work for a dog groomer and sometimes get poked fun at because I'm more a cat person than a dog person. (I compared cats are like chocolate ice cream and dogs are chocolate bars, for me, both are wonderful, but the ice cream is just a little better). I know a great many dog people, but I honestly don't like most dog specific people. (I don't care for most of our cat clients either, but its mostly because they make us shave their beautiful longhairs for no good reason, that and to people in my area, every long-haired cat is apparently a Persian) A good friend of mine "can't understand what makes people want to own a cat", while I can't understand what makes her want to own two crazy labs honestly. (Just not my breed, I love a few but they're too crazy and overbred for my tastes)
I hate to compare cat people with dog people or even play into the stereotypes, but here I go...I think it takes a certain kind of person to like cats and just about anyone to like dogs. Dogs are more easily loveable but cats, to an "outsider" is hard to understand and love.
So to me, as a cat lover, knowing someone loves and has cats too tells me a lot about them. It tells me things like, they're good at understanding the subtlety of things, tolerant or don't have strict expectations of what companionship is like, etc. (I also think there's a difference between loving cats without having them as a pet and loving cats while having pets.)
Agreed! And I like ice cream more than chocolate bars too hah!

It takes the right person to love a cat for everything they are! I'll take that any day over a guy with a truckload of big, ill-mannered dogs! (Small ill mannered dogs are different though, I'll always appreciate an army of chi-mix things)
Actually, I did see a video of "people who are scared of pitbulls meet one" and it was adorable honestly. I like true animal people, my boss and are that way. She has 4 dogs and a bunch of fosters and god knows how many cats now, I think maybe 6? But we went down to a farm in our area and were trying to make out with the sheep all the same, she even just recently rescued a pig. I know a lot of people who also love cats but are allergic, I have an asthmatic friend who, while she never had a cat so is wary of them going full psycho when she's here, loves them even though she'll die.

I find it cat specific people rare but there are many dog specific people (which is absolutely okay. whatever floats your boat!). "Society" in general doesn't love cats entirely so that's why you have Buzzfeed making videos about "People who hate cats meet kittens" and no videos like "People who hate dogs meet puppies".
I would assume the long hair is too hard to maintain but I don't think I'd like to shave my long haired cat if I had one. My friend has a long haired cat and she gives him a permanent lions cut and says he's super cute and I just agree with her but I secretly don't like itHAHA
