People are always arguing about whether cats are better than dogs or vice versa. Although mostly everyone’s choice is their personal opinion, there have been many studies and surveys conducted that show how cats and dogs can affect your life so maybe, it can help you choose which kind of animal you want as a pet when you have to decide between buying a cat or a dog.
In America, around 77.5 million people own dogs while a much larger number of 93.6 million people own cats. The upkeep for a cat generally costs less than a dog and recent studies from the University of Bristol in England showed that people who owned cats are more likely to have university degrees than dog people. On the other hand, a study from Queen’s university in Ireland said that people with dogs have lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and suffer fewer serious medical problems so they are usually healthier. Ownership of a dog can lead to increases in physical activity, which results in better fitness. In another survey with 4,500 participants, people answered questions about their personality and the results were that people who possessed dogs tend to be more social and outgoing while cat people are more likely to be creative and philosophical. This could be because dogs are companionable and enjoy being with their owners while cats usually keep to themselves and if they hang out with you, they leave whenever they feel like it.
Dogs and cats have a bigger role in your life than you think they do. They are not just cute and cuddly and nice to have around but they also help you in different ways. Hopefully, this can give you a little more insight into whether owning a dog or a cat is better for you.
