Cat owners have often been viewed as more reserved, fussier and not as friendly as dog owners. However, recent research from the University of Maryland has found than when cat owners visit online pet communities (such as our very own PetTalk) they are more likely to make friends with other members of the community than their dog owning counterparts. In fact, dog owners not only initiate fewer friendships but tend only to make friends with owners of similar breeds to their own dog suggesting they are the fussier pet owners.
As a dog owner I'm not sure I agree - that said, I think I'll go make a few more friends just to be sure. Who knows I might even cross over and extend an invitation to a cat owner......
