Are democrats more likely to be cat lovers than dog lovers

[RagingInMiami]

I'm a dog lover, but I notice there seems a lot more cat owners here than dog owners.

1. Dogs = Freepers

As IF. But seriously there does seem to be a disproportionate amount of cat people on here.

2. I don't think so

But I think dog lovers are more fanatical

3. There are 24 "cat_girl" screen names on DU. Nuf said.

5. That probably says more about women than DUers. (nt)

12. Uh, can I refer all the hate mail to you (haha).

4. Cat Lovers

Dems are more independent.

[saracat]

7. Right on. Cat lovers respect independence and don't require slobbering

devotion. We also respect the intelligence of our pets. They must be smart, they have us treating them like the deities the Egyptians thought they were!

6. Five cats over here

And that's just the indoor crew. :)

8. I'm definitely more of a dog person

Although I love both. :)

9. This was recently discussed here at DU

Here's the thread:

For the record, I'm a cat lover, although I do like dogs... I agree with most of the above cartoon...


on edit: I wasn't calling out this thread as a dupe, mind you. I just thought the other thread was an appropriate reference to the subject of this thread.

10. Dog lover myself

I don't hate cats. Just prefer dogs as pets. They're loyal where as cats can be finicky.

14. me too

besides, cats give me hives. I live for my dog. He's the wind beneath my wings.

Arthropods

If I lived out in the country, I'd have big critters too.
But right now, just two cats and four birds. My dog died a few years ago, but still miss her and, don't have enough time and love to go around with all of the above.

Cant say if I'm more of a cat person or dog person. Dogs are great for some things, cats are great for others.

13. Well the two biggest Republicans I work w/ are both cat lovers!

They're also both women and born again Christians though I don't think the cat thing is necessarily linked to the other traits (the born again and Republican traits are definitely linked!)

I think more people these days are cat lovers because the high pressure, highly mobile, society we live in now is not conducive to caring for dogs. Ya' really gotta' love 'em. I know - I have two and they require a lot of commitment and planning. Whereas the cat, (inherited her a long time ago - long story) not so much.

15. cat owners just like to talk about them more.
