The level of clinginess between cats and dogs varies depending on individual personality and breed, but generally speaking, dogs are considered more clingy pets. They tend to form deep emotional bonds with their owners, exhibiting strong dependence and loyalty. Dogs love to follow their owners, crave their attention and companionship, and often show great enthusiasm and responsiveness to their owners' calls and petting.

Cats are relatively more independent. While they can form close bonds with their owners, they typically don't become as overly dependent as dogs. Cats tend to act according to their own pace and preferences. They may actively seek their owner's companionship, but they also enjoy playing and resting alone. When choosing a pet, you can decide whether to get a dog or a cat based on your lifestyle and preferences.
