Psychologists have conducted an interesting study and found that people can be divided into two categories - some are more attached to dogs, and others to cats.

At the same time, if both animals live in a person's home, he or she usually chooses pets that are similar in character.

Psychotype of dog lovers

As it turned out, dog lovers are prone to manipulating people. They are able to go over people's heads to achieve their goals. That's why such people are great at dog training. Their pets grow up obedient and disciplined.

Also, psychologists believe that those people who love dogs more are afraid to be alone. They like to be in a company, easily make new friends, and can chat tirelessly with the first person they meet.

Dog lovers are more likely to come to the aid of other people. However, they cannot be considered simpletons.

Before wasting their time on another person's problems, they will definitely check everything and only when they can make sure that their help is really needed will they act. But if they realize that they are just being used, they leave immediately.

Psychotype of cat lovers

Studies have shown that people who choose cats tend to be lonely. They are more private people. They do not like noisy companies and prefer to spend time in their own home. Likewise, they have a well-developed intuition and are more likely to listen to their inner voice than to the people around them.

Cat lovers are terrible perfectionists and demand the same from relatives, friends, and acquaintances. Everything in their house is laid out on shelves, and there is an action plan on the wall. They don't like it when this plan is disrupted or when uninvited guests suddenly come to their home.

In addition, such people do not tolerate being bossed around. They know exactly what they need and often act only in their own interests. At the same time, cat lovers are quite kind and can often help others to their own detriment.
