@Ripper;: Similar to your description I would characterize the main difference between dogs and cats as follows: Dogs always want to please you, while cats want to cuddle sometimes and want to be left alone at other times. For me dogs are like little children who never grow up, while cats behave like adults.
People, who want a pet more as a partner on an equal level, will prefer a cat, while people who need a subordinate will prefer a dog. This fits to your analysis: For a dog, the human is always the alpha dog, while cats don't have such strong hierarchy.
