The study involved a survey of 600 college students, 60 percent of whom said they were dog people, with just 11 percent identifying as cat lovers. What dog people value most in their pets is companionship; cat people cited affection as their favorite feline trait.
Researcher Denise Guastello, an associate professor of psychology, believes the type of environments dog and cat people prefer, coupled with their own personality traits, are significant factors in their choice of a pet.
Guastello feels that an understanding of why people identify as either cat or dog lovers can assist pet therapy programs in making better matches between owners and pets.
