• The world is full of dogs and cats, and the world is full of people who love them as well.

ReadingReading

• Some people love dogs and cats equally. Such a person may simply be an animal lover.

ReadingReading

• However, some people seem to like dogs more than cats, and others seem to prefer cats. Why is that?

ReadingReading

• People who prefer dogs often like them for their loyalty to their masters.

ReadingReading

• A dog’s loyalty is not just an imagined characteristic.

ReadingReading

• There are many stories about the loyalty and patience of a dog.

ReadingReading

• For example, in Tokyo, Japan, there is a famous statue of a dog in front of Shibuya Station.

• The dog was known for its loyalty: it followed its master to the train station every day …

• and waited patiently outside the station to accompany its master back home at the end of the day.

ReadingReading

• Even after the master’s death, the dog continued to go to the station and waited there for the next 11 years.

ReadingReading

• People who love cats, on the other hand, seldom love them for their loyalty.

ReadingReading

• Rather, they love their cats’ independence. A cat can be away from its home for days at a time.

ReadingReading

• When it finally returns, it acts as if nothing unusual has happened.

ReadingReading

• It simply asks for its dinner as usual.

• In fact, cats seem to be able to live on their own quite well.

ReadingReading

• Sometimes, they will leave home and never return. But other cats enjoy their home life.

ReadingReading

• They seem especially to enjoy sitting on their owners’ laps and taking a short nap.

ReadingReading

• We can conclude by saying that dogs are quite predictable in how they act, while cats are much more individualistic.

ReadingReading

• Is that why Americans, who love their independence, seem to prefer cats to dogs?
