Does your Constance prefer cats or dogs?

I think she has a sort of loving rivalry with cats, in which they both challenge and stimulate her intellect while simultaneously annoying her to no end. A bit like Yuri.

Dogs, although acceptable assistants for crude tasks such as fetching various appliances or protecting her from intruders, would be ill suited as lab partners.
