Why are dogs more loyal than cats? The main reason why dogs are more loyal than cats is that they are more social: it is easier for them to form an emotional connection with humans, rather than seeking a sense of security by escaping or hiding. In addition, dogs are loyal to their owners and can make many sacrifices for their owners, while cats are relatively indifferent and do not pay special attention to their owners and are unwilling to take the initiative to contact them.

Dogs have been domesticated by humans and have lived with humans for a long time, but cats have not been completely domesticated by humans, so dogs are more loyal than cats. Cats have always been relatively independent animals. Even if their owners don't feed them, they can catch mice by themselves, so they are not highly dependent on people.

Dogs have maintained a close cooperative relationship with humans since they were raised in captivity by humans, and are more dependent on humans than cats, so dogs are more loyal than cats.

Dogs have been domesticated for more than 10,000 years. This long history has made dogs no longer so strange to humans and they are loyal to this day. Cats were domesticated a bit late. The first domesticated pet cats came from ancient Egypt more than 6,000 years ago, and the kittens of African wild cats are also considered by many to be the ancestors of current domestic cats. The domestication period of the two is more than 4,000 years apart, which is one of the reasons.
