I thought cats were female and dogs were male. Can you tell I didn't have pets growing up?

I know a disturbingly high number of adults over 40 that refer to every dog as he/him and every cat as she/her no matter how many thousands of times they are corrected on it.

Have you been around girls and boys. This makes perfect sense. I think the science might be wrong.

I still say this but I know it isn't true.
