Dogs and cats are related!
You hurt a cat and you are hurting a large % of the biology of a dog too and vice versa.
Dogs and cats share a common ancestor and alot of the same biology so you may not see it but at a cellular level they are very very close to being the same animal, hence why they mix up hyenas as dogs when they are closer to cats.
We separate species in our mind and based on their visual form but really its their biology at a cellular level that makes an animal close or distant from one another in form, animals are a blur of form too there is no direct separation between species especially closely related species.
I say this because most people either like a cat or a dog and only give a damn about one and not the other, so knowing this fact helps people care more accurately about what they love
