You know how your dog goes nuts when you get home and treats you like a hero.  While your cat MIGHT kinda look in your direction? I have to break to you, but it’s because your dog really DOES love you more. A new study analyzed saliva from dogs and cats after they played with their owners for 10 minutes.  The researchers looked for how their levels of oxytocin changed, since that’s the hormone connected to love and bonding. They found the oxytocin levels in dogs jumped 57.2% after some quality time with their owners . . . the levels in cats only jumped 12%. So, yeah . . . your dog loves you approximately five times more than your cat. I am shocked by this study, cos I am pretty sure my cat only tolerates me cos I feed her.
