I’ve met more than one person who loves dogs and has an absolutely fanatical hatred of cats, but I’ve never seen the inverse. I’m not sure what’s going on there.
Those people get a dog purely for the joy of ordering something around that cant choose otherwise and get a kick out of a creature liking them for no good reason. Cats are antithetical to that because they wont do what you want ever.
Not saying all dog people are like that though, many are super chill but I have met a lot of extremely unpleasant dog people whereas cat fanatics are just silly like me. For negative feelings towards dogs its mostly not trusting other people’s dog until I know they dont want maul me to death while the owner laughs and does absolutely nothing to stop it.
9 out of 10 dog people are like “haha the dog is just playing it would never hurt anyone”. 1 out of 10 dog people is like “why would you even think about walking past my dog this closely, do you want to loose a limb”.
I’ve never thought about this but now that you said it I think you’re right. I know dog-fearing cat lovers but that’s not the same thing it’s true that dogs can be scary

Cats would be scary too if they were large adult child sized.
The only trustworthy position is a person who likes cats and dogs, but LOVES capybaras, and is iffy on humans
