Why is it that dogs and puppies are more closely associated with boys while cats and kittens are with girls?

Asked by AstroChuck (37609points) March 28th, 2010 from iPhone

I happen to have both a dog and three cats. But I consider myself more of a cat person than a dog person. And this preference for cats predates my career as a letter carrier so it’s not that. Could it be because men generally feel the need to dominate and, unlike cats, dogs are born followers?
