Most of the time, someone can classify themselves as either a dog person or a cat person, and there is a reason for that. Itโs because, while cats and dogs both make such wonderful, loving pets, they are both so different.
Dogs act as more of a clingy friend โ 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.

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 donโt have a sweet tooth because theyโre more conditioned to hunt for their prey (meat). Their survival actually counts on it.
