Did many girls become dog lovers instead of cat lovers after COVID?

This is just simple fake news. The internet states the following about this topic:

Stable Preferences: Research into pet ownership shows that general gender trends and personal affinities for cats or dogs remained largely consistent.

"The "Cat Lady" Dynamic: Recent studies (such as a 2026 survey of thousands of adults by the University of Lucerne) continue to show that women often form strong emotional bonds with cats, and the stereotype of the female cat lover remains culturally and psychologically persistent rather than replaced by canine preferences.

Pandemic Adoption Booms: During COVID-19 lockdowns, adoptions for both dogs and cats surged globally as people sought companionship at home. People did not collectively trade one species for the other; instead, overall pet ownership increased across the board".

Nah. Covid didn't change much at all despite the nonsense that is posted online.
