Do you consider yourself creative, enjoy a bit of classical music and still love an episode of “Seinfeld?” Chances are you are a cat person, according to new findings. We often look the similarities and differences between dog people and cat people.

What if we love both cats and dogs? Well, that would make us supreme beings. The dog vs. cat war that will never end, and the only correct answer, is that both of them are amazing.

“Cat people tend be non-conformist, somebody who stands up for what they believe in despite what anyone thinks which in many ways and perhaps mirrors the independence for which cats are renowned. Cat people also score higher on intelligence tests and more educated!
“Cat people are more likely to possess university degrees than dog owners. Educated people tend to work longer hours and opt for pets that compliment their personal circumstances and lifestyle.” Steve McKeown of The McKeown Clinic told Unilad.
