A cat is calm, intelligent, alert, observant, patient, with excellent sight and hearing...perfect for holding, caressing, petting, during a stressful activity like trading and thinking. A dog, on the other hand, is much more primal and basic and excitable and hot-blooded and reactionary and impatient...all traits that can be detrimental to a trader. Even in movies and television, cat owners are generally intelligent, successful, people. While dog owners...are more...middle class and common and basic all-around.
Until you give it some Cosmic Catnip. Then all bets are off. At least dogs do not have a natural substance that gets them wasted. That's why God made mushrooms, man. This way, your dog looks like a cat. Or you could just freak out when a crab becomes a cat. From outer space.
Or maybe that was another lie to protect "his" image. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article...rection-spuds-mackenzie-original-party-animal
