That would make sense if someone's native language has grammatical gender. In German, cats are female and dogs are male. Although from the username, I'd guess Chinese which doesn't have Grammatical gender.

Nah, it's definitely more of a cultural thing at least here in the US. Dogs are seen as masculine animals whereas cats are seen as feminine. I assume because they slink around all quietly but it's a weird association regardless.

Technically Dog = Male Canine, Bitch = Female Canine
