I can't say exactly about the research. But I prefer cats over dogs and my two cats were amiable than any dog I have seen in the world. :p But you must have seen that usually when cats are shown with their owners, these owners tend to be women, I mean they are women! So maybe it's a general belief and not reality that cat are women's pet, making people to show it in this way.

Honestly I dont believe in the reaserch ir the stats because I know alot of guys who love cats and would have a cat over a dog any day. I would prefer to have a dog over a cat but right now we have 2 cats cause that is what our kids wanted to get as a pet. Eventually I will have my dog.

So you are on my side!!;):D My big brother is also a great cat-lover.Actually guys like him made me doubt this research:) I think mostly people relate cats with tenderness,vulnerability,and "a tendecy to flatter when in need and ignore when you are full" attitude. Most of these are (not all!!)feminine attributes assumedly:P
