Is there a relationship between a pet owner's personality and the species of the pet?

Not sure about reptiles, but I've noticed a difference between cat and dog people. Bear in mind that these are GENERALITIES, and won't apply to everyone. In general, cats are room mates and dogs are kids. Cat owners seem to be more intellectual, free spirited, and independent. They enjoy interacting with a pet, but they want to comfortably co-exist without being tied down. I think they also appreciate the beauty and grace of cats; they're like living sculptures. They want a pet that is friendly and shows affection without being in-your-face about it. Dog owners want a pet that looks up to them. They enjoy being the leader, and they want a companion to go places and do things together with. They get joy out of being greeted at the door by someone happy to see them. They want a more interactive pet, who keeps telling them they're wonderful. I'm sure we'll get a debate going over how accurate this is, but you can't deny that dogs need housebreaking, training, grooming, and daily walking. Cats need the litter box scooped daily. So dogs are more high maintenance, and need an owner willing to do all this.
