Cat people and dog people
The terms "dog people" and "cat people" refer to a person's domesticated animal preference. Some people base a significant portion of their identity around their affinity for either cats or dogs, describing themselves as a "cat person" or a "dog person". This builds on the perceived dichotomy between cats and dogs as pets in society. The two terms refer to people's self-identification, regardless of what pets they actually own, if any.
