Life / What do Poles really think about cats? [416]
@Rosie66
As the old saying goes, dogs have owners and cats have servants.
This relationship has been studied seriously by mental health professionals as well.
Here is a good explanation on an individual level which you could scale up to a national level:

Perhaps if you were more social and took the time to get to know your Polish neighbors on a first name basis you would get a better understanding of all this and not be so judgmental of them.
But if prefer the company of cats over human contact then don't worry. The takeaway is that Poles just have that much more in common with your queen and royal family who themselves never took much of a liking to cats either.

cat owners are relatively low in dominance...dog owners are more social, interactive and accepting and cat owners...are more introverted, self-contained and less sociable.
