Pet-centered photo sharing and social media site Klooff has put together an infographic laying out gender differences in the great debate that has consumed pet lovers for centuries -- cats versus dogs -- as well as insights into how your pet preferences might influence your dating life!
The infographic claims that 76% of women favor dating profiles of men who post a picture with a pet. It also confirms that size matters, with 64% of women preferring men with big dogs versus small dogs.
Unsurprisingly, 46% of 'cat people' say they don't like dogs and 56% of 'dog people' say they don't like cats. Meanwhile, three in four dog-owners believe that their dogs improved their relationships with others.
The data in the infographic was gleaned from 1,000 pet-owning Klooff members who took part in a survey.
