Do you prefer cats or dogs? It's a query that pet owners frequently ask.

Sometimes the answer is a casual, all-encompassing preference for one over the other while still maintaining positive thoughts for both furry friends. However, some people have a strong attachment to cats or dogs and may openly and vehemently knock off the other species. 

Could there be a reason why some species attract some people more than others? Given how different cats and dogs are from one another, aren't their owners also different?

It’s said that dog lovers are by nature extroverted and sociable; they take pleasure in the opportunities for social interaction that canine activities provide. On the other hand, it’s said that people who love cats tend to be solitary individuals who would rather spend a peaceful evening at home with their pets than go out and socialize. 

We don’t know if that’s entirely true, but we see a couple who just might go their separate ways if the dog and cat issue isn’t settled. The OP in today’s AITA story is a cat person, while her partner is a dog person.

The OP’s cat died and she was ready to adopt another one, only for her partner to disagree with her. Read how the entire story unfolded as you keep scrolling below. 

Here, the Redditor is asking an important question

He told the OP he wasn't crazy about cats

The OP's elderly girl passed a few months back

He said I eventually said yes to the dogs

Even if it's still a petty issue, the OP still feels tricked

Here are some of the opinions Redditors had about the story.

This Redditor doesn't know how to describe the OP's partner

Two cats, coming right in

It's all about getting new stuffs

Him not walking away was his yes

He had plenty of time during those conversations

Why are you engaged to him?

He manipulated you into getting dogs

He's trying to go back on what he said

Trading the man for two adorable fluffball kittens

You are saving a life

You clearly laid out your expectations

Do you want to be with this person or do you want a cat?

Having a cat is essential to me

He should bail if he's not cool with it

This Redditor highly doubts the OP's partner will budge

It sounds like the OP got scammed

He does not care about what's important to you

It's as if he's been selfish and controlling

Who knows what next he'll control you over

He is manipulative and dishonest

So many people have their own individual deal breakers in a relationship, and once it’s breached, there’s no turning back. The OP is clearly reconsidering her relationship because her partner isn’t supporting her decision.

This goes to show just how much these furry friends mean to us, and you can certainly share this post if you’re a furry lover.
