There's always been a debate over which type of pet owner ranks supreme: dog people or cat people.
If you happen to be a proud dog parent who's always secretly believed you were better than your cat-owning acquaintances, I have some good news for you.
Apparently, dog owners are hotter than people who have cats.
That's right. The online dating website, Elite Singles, just conducted a study that finally confirmed your long-standing suspicion that dog owners are more sexually attractive than cat owners.
Sorry kitty cat people, I guess your pets aren't so purrfect after all.
The study, which included 1,000 singletons, revealed a whooping 63 percent of people considered dog owners to be the most attractive pet owners on the face of the planet.
Seriously, though, how could you not fall head over heels for a drool-worthy dude with a dog?
Feline owners, in comparison, only made 18 percent of participants feel weak in the knees.
If you ask me, these findings shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.
We constantly hear stories about crazy old cat ladies who fill the loveless void in their hearts with an abundance of feline companions.
On the other hand, you never really hear about 25 poodles being rescued from a crazy old dog lady's house.
The results of the study also revealed 19 percent of the participants were mean, heartless creatures who didn't consider pet owners of any kind to be attractive.
Something tells me that might be one of the reasons why those particular people are still single. But, hey, that's none of my business.
In addition to determining the most irresistible animal owners alive, the study also revealed people take pets into account when looking for a partner.
Nearly three-quarters of the participants felt the way people treat their pets can serve as a good indicator of how they will act in a relationship.
Plus, when it comes to picking the perfect partner, 32 percent of dog owners and 27 percent of cat owners said they would kick their date to the curb if their pet didn't approve of them.
So long story short, dog people rule, cat people drool and you should never get on the bad side of Bae's super-judgy beagle.
