Do Pets Prefer Owners Of The Same Or Opposite Sex?

Do you have a preference if your pet is a male or female? I prefer male cats. Why? Because every male cat we’ve ever had has bonded well with me and been closer with me than anyone else in the family. Every female cat we’ve had has preferred RB (my husband). The same applies with the dogs that we have. I don’t know if it’s because of a difference in hgh or other hormones or what it is. My friends are split pretty evenly on the question. So what are your thoughts? Do you find that pets you’ve had have bonded more closely with a person of the same or opposite sex?

Interesting question.
I have not really noticed this with my cats, however my parents have a Female Boxer at the moment and a Female Collie dog prior to that and now that you mention it the female dog always preferred the men in the house. May be something to do with the sex of the person who was there at the beginning of their life?????
