Dogs are more social than cats

It’s obvious that dogs are more social than cats, but the reason is that dogs have been domesticated by humans and evolved together, so they have been socialized since ancient times. “We haven’t developed the same type of relationship with domesticated cats,” said Teena Patel, a certified dog trainer and the owner of the University of Doglando. 

“Dogs were originally domesticated to perform services for humans: herding, guarding, hunting; in the process, they’ve become dependent on humans for direction, sustenance and affection,” Levy says.

Cats can’t protect their owners in the same way as dogs. “They will hunt rodents, but not on command, although they may proudly bring you their prey,” says Levy. “And while dogs are usually predictable in their behavior, cats are more independent and ‘creative’ in their life skills.”
