Theory: liberals are cat owners, conservatives are dog owners.
Possible causes:
- Dogs are more likely to be working animals (police, farm, hunting), and those humans are likely to be conservative
- Perhaps liberals are more likely to adopt shelter pets, while conservatives are more likely to buy from puppy mills
- Perhaps conservatives favor authoritation relationships, and dogs better suit that model
