I didn't. I was like huh there is no opposite of cat, then read the title, then got even more confused... How does anyone think the answer is dog?

In no logical way does cat being the opposite of dog make sense. It's just a typical association because there was always a stronger cat vs dog stereotype in media as I was growing up. I learned that cats and dogs don't get along, are mortal enemies, etc. This of course isn't true, but it's overly portrayed in media that way.

huh, for me it only makes sense in the case of cat people vs dog people because they're the most popular pets and most people prefer one over the other

because it is. that's why cat people are the opposite of dog people.

Exactly. Cat people are rational and considerate of their neighbors.

What's the opposite of possum people.

Because I want a pet possum.
