I’ve posted more than once, and gleefully, about the weird American habit we have of associating dogs with men and cats with women.
Well, Adrienne H. sent in a particularly humorous example: an advertising image from Pajamagram, featuring “hoodie-footies” for the entire family. They are color-coded — pink for girls, blue for boys — all the way down to the dog and cat.
So, there you have it; I’m not crazy after all.
