CAT OWNERS VS. DOG OWNERS
(January, 2018) A survey of 1,000 dog owners and 1,000 cat owners by Mars Petcare finds the following:
– Dog owners tend to earn more money on average ($47,000 vs. $40,000).
– Cat people are more creative than dog people overall. Dog owners are twice as likely to work in the financial field and cat owners are nearly four times as likely to work in creative fields.
– Cat owners are more likely to watch a documentary, musical or indie film. Dog lovers are bigger fans of horror and action, and also score higher for both romcoms and romance movies.
– Cat owners are more likely to enjoy gentler hobbies such as reading, writing or gardening. Dog owners, on the other hand, are quicker to embrace more active pursuits such as sports, yoga, dancing and travel.
– Dog owners are more likely to be runners, with a quarter (25 percent) saying they run regularly, versus only 16 percent of cat owners.
– Cat owners are more likely to credit their pet with reducing stress.
– More than a fifth of both dog and cat owners take their pet on vacation with them.
– A quarter eat meals with their pets.
– More than a third buy their pets presents on birthdays and holidays – although dog owners are twice as likely (19 percent vs. 9 percent) to celebrate their dog’s birthday with a party.
* What do you get for a dog party? A cake that smells like dog butt?

* So my salary problem all these years has been not having a dog.
* The big decision you have to make is – would you rather have your house smell like a dog, or like a cat box?
* Cat owners are more likely to be murdered by their pet.
* By the way – people who own lizards? Don’t ask.
