Cat lover here. I like dogs, as I like all animals (except monkeys) but I'm more of a cat person.
When I was a child I used to think all Aspies were cat people because of dogs being loud and erratic. I had a phobia of dogs when I was little and would become terrified if one barked near me. My phobia lasted all the way up until age 24.
My three favourite animals are cats, rats and moths, but my friend (who is an extreme animal-lover) dislikes them! What are the odds of that?
(I love butterflies too, so does she).
