  • Dogs are often seen as loyal companions, willing to share in both good and bad times.
  • Cats, on the other hand, are often perceived as more aloof and independent.
  • Historically, cats have been viewed with more suspicion and negativity than dogs, even associated with evil in certain periods.
  • This difference in perception is reflected in the existence of anti-cat movements throughout history, particularly in Europe during the early modern and late medieval periods.
  • Dogs have generally not faced the same level of historical animosity.
