we can probably assume there's a bit of cartoon-gender-code misogyny + christian valuing of obedience and demonizing of intellect in the mix
all of this and also i think there's this weird and really specific thing some people do where they treat cats as though they were a dog and then think the cat is an asshole when they don't behave like dogs
(which plays into the expectation of obedience thing)
My dog is baby and every cat I've met stabbed me. "That's just how cats play" I'm soft >:T 🤭
cats are pokey but every dog i've met thinks FULL BODY TACKLE CONSTANTLY is what playing looks like. also greeting. also chilling. also everything
🤭 oh the little rascals. Then they tucker themselves out and sleep for 18 hours or until food. So really, they're not so different cats and dogs
cats are both more feminine coded, as well as just generally seen as less submissive and obedient, which for kids shows is what you want to be teaching them so the parents don't bitch.
i have a whole theory/conspiracy in my head about how animators are making dog ppl propaganda!!
I mean, when I was little there was one called "Samba" that did the exact opposite.
