Most of the time, someone can classify themselves as either a dog person or a cat person, and there is a reason for that. It’s because, while cats and dogs both make such wonderful, loving pets, they are both so different.
Dogs act as more of a clingy friend – an affectionate sidekick. While cats on the other hand, are much more fine with being independent and on their own.
We found a couple of photos that demonstrated the clear difference between the two. No matter how different they are though, they are still very lovable.

When there’s light reflecting somewhere, dogs have a knack for finding exactly where it is and basking in it all day long.
Cats love the light too, but they have a little more trouble with finding it. They’d rather turn it into a game and chase it.
Dogs are very straightforward with their emotions. When they love their owner, they make sure to show it.
Cats love their owners just as much, but they don’t show it as well.
Cats have other ways of keeping cool, like pads on their feet and sweat glands in their noses.
Dogs can taste sweetness, which partially explains why they tend to rummage through the trash. Their diets are broader, so they go after a broad spectrum of tastes.
Cats actually don’t have a sweet tooth because they’re more conditioned to hunt for their prey (meat). Their survival actually counts on it.
Not that they want to, but if they need to, dogs can go on hunger strikes.
