Research into Cat and Dog Psychology for our Documentary

Before we began filming I thought it might be a good idea to have a look into the actual psychology about cats and especially into cat people and dog people as this was what interested the group most with in this subject matter. We found out that cat people were proven to be on average 11% more neurotic and 12% more open minded than dog people. To us this was a very interesting statistic and we knew we wanted it included in our piece so as you can see I have written it into one of the scripts as part of the detectives reasoning's and explanations behind the suspicious happenings! There can also be many traits that differ between cat people and dog people such as there personality traits but also things like dating habits and even in some cases political preference has even been linked to as different in dog people and cat people. In the Book 'Why we love the Dogs we do' it was reported that dog owners tend to be more social, interactive, and dominant were as cat people were more introverted, self-contained, and trusting. This then raised some questions about what people who own both and claim to be both are like and after more research I discovered that people who own both tend to actually act and have more dog people attributes. I feel like these characteristics play an important part of what we want to say in our Documentary and having got these facts and figures now allows us to create more depth in the piece.
