The text claims that cats get more attached to people than dogs.

Infact verdict: Mixed (47/100).

The claim that cats get more attached to people than dogs is not strongly supported by the evidence. Studies indicate that both cats and dogs form strong attachments to humans, but they do so in different ways. Cats are often perceived as more independent, while dogs are traditionally seen as more attached. The evidence does not conclusively support the claim that cats are more attached than dogs, but rather that they can be equally attached in different manners.
