I think we all knew this already but...

After adjusting for all the other factors, they found that people who attended church or religious services more often tended to have fewer pets generally. However, when they specifically looked at cat ownership and dog ownership, they found that frequent church attenders were less likely to own a cat than others, but no less likely to own a dog.

Based on this, the authors suggested that cat people seemed to have a personality profile associated with being more creative, non-conforming, and unconventional, because of their greater imagination, intelligence, and emotional sensitivity, as well as their willingness to disregard social norms.

Answer 4

I cannot think of one day in my life when there wasn't a cat living with me. Many times when dogs were my companions there were cats living there to modify and control everything.

He sort of warmed up to the dog, but only because he could take the dog for walks and use him to meet other people to invite them to church.
