A website called Hunch.com polled 200,000 pet owners to find out their likes and dislike.

They then asked them if they were dog or cat people. After comparing the data, they found that…

Dog people are:

15% more likely to be extroverts

36% more likely to have a pop song as the ringtone on their phone

11% more likely to say that cloning is ok, but only for animals or pets

18% more likely to consider Paul McCartney their favorite Beatle

9% more likely to think of zoos as happy place

30% more likely to enjoy slapstick humor and impressions

Cat people are:

11% more likely to be introverts

14% more likely to cling to friends at a party

17% more likely to have a degree

25% more likely to consider George Harrison their favorite Beatle

10% more likely to send messages on Twitter

21% more likely to enjoy sarcasm and puns

I love cats. I have a huge big tome of a book which I got for my 12th birthday called 'Wild Cats of the World' and consequently I know loads about cats, but I don't even have one!!!! Its funny about that test, because I like George Harrison and I quite like sarcasm, though not that fond of puns.

smily6, maybe you sHoUlD have a dog, but I'm saying it's not really fair, but pretty cool though

I adore cats! This might sound weird, but if I had a cat, then I would take it out for a walk on a lead(if it wants to!), because I know cat owners who do that and their ctas love it! Also, why can dogs be walked on a lead and not cats? :)

I've thought this too Mirri04. Maybe it's because a cat can climb up a tree and you'll be left at the bottom, holding and lead and looking stupid? :)
