Man's Best Friend is a dog, but Woman's Best Friend is a cat... or, at least according to fiction. In real life, of course, people's preference for cats or dogs isn't tied to their gender (at least not to anywhere near this extent).
This might be a parallel indicator of Men Act, Women Are. Dogs are traditionally used for working (with dogs as purely companion animals being a relatively recent occurrence): they herd sheep, sniff luggage for bombs, chew on criminals, guard the stash, et cetera. Cats tend to laze about not doing much, except disarranging small items, and they're largely indoor pets (which is why loners love 'em). Cats also have this entitlement attitude: "What have you brought me today, furless ape?" Thus, Men and Dogs Act, while Women and Cats simply Are.note This perception ignores the fact that cats were indeed domesticated for the specific purpose of keeping vermin at bay.
A male character who has a particular fondness for cats (especially Cute Kitten) might be In Touch with His Feminine Side (though men who like big cats are mostly aversions), while a female who likes dogs might be a bit of a tomboy (though if it's small dogs or foxes then she's usually anything but). Certain dog breeds, such as hounds or retrievers, are usually owned by men because they're "manly"-seeming working dogs. Male characters are almost never seen owning "girly" dogs, companion breeds like poodles,note Interestingly, poodles, even the smaller variations, are a hunting breed, but their frilly pelts have led to them being seen as only cutesy companions by many chihuahuas, or Malteses. Cats on the other hand (at least the domesticated ones) don't have these restrictions much, mainly due to most people not recognizing more than a few select breeds at most, though longhaired cats and hairless cats are sometimes depicted as feminine due to their high maintenance. Big wild cats, on the other hand, are usually seen as "manly" animals in many cultures, even in Western ones, while foxes, like certain dogs, are portrayed as "feminine" canines in certain cultures and especially modern media.
The prevalence of cat videos on the Internet has diluted the prevalence of this trope somewhat over time. It might even count as an inversion since Internet-based activities are often seen as stereotypically male. If a couple consists of a female cat-lover and a male dog-lover, it's often a sign of Opposites Attract.
Also see A Boy and His X, Crazy Cat Lady, Kindhearted Cat Lover, Cat Stereotype, Canine Companion, and Dog Stereotype. Compare to Female Feline, Male Mutt, which is another way the dog/cat gender stereotypes can play out, and Boys Like Creepy Critters and All Girls Like Ponies, for other ways liking certain animals is stereotyped by gender.

In one Tom and Jerry short, the cat Tom and dog Spike are owned by a pair of spouses. When their owners decide to keep only one pet, the husband insists on getting rid of Tom, while the wife insists on getting rid of Spike. The owners decide that whoever catches the mouse (Jerry) gets to stay. Tom and Spike end up tearing up the house trying to catch Jerry and are both then thrown out in favor of Jerry (under the logic that a mouse would eat less than Tom or Spike, not knowing Jerry's quite the Big Eater himself).

Oliver & Company: Most of the human characters are male and own dogs. Fagin has the dogs Dodger, Francis, Einstein, Rita, and Tito. Card-Carrying Villain Sykes has the Dobermans Roscoe and Desoto. Young Jenny Foxworth, however, adopts The Woobie kitten Oliver. There's also Georgette the show poodle in the Foxworth home, but she's framed as a Foxworth asset rather than as a family pet.

The Simpsons:
Bart is very close to his dog, Santa's Little Helper, while Lisa has a cat, Snowball II, and is a Kindhearted Cat Lover in general.
In one episode centered around Valentine's Day, the resident Crazy Cat Lady has a Meet Cute (and a brief relationship with) a "Crazy Dog Man."

Tamaki is a girl in Naruto who works with nin-cats and is often surrounded by cats. It is revealed in the Distant Finale that she has become Kiba's girlfriend. Kiba's best friend and partner is his nin-dog Akamaru. Kiba comes from a clan of people who work with dogs, with the other two prominent Inuzuka being his mother and older sister (his father explicitly ran off years ago).

Inverted in the first episode of Rita and Runt in Animaniacs. We are introduced to the title pair by a man who adopted Runt and a woman who adopted Rita because of this trope, but it's obvious from their complaints about what they want from a pet that the man wanted a cat, and the woman wanted a dog.

King of the Hill:
Subverted in "The Patriot Act", when Hank offers to take care of a soldier's pet while he's away on duty and is horrified to discover that said pet, named Duke, is a cat. As Duke proves to be quite a handful, Hank makes several insulting comments at his owner's expense, just short of saying he's gay.
In the episode "To Kill a Ladybird", Hank remarks that dogs are a practical pet and only thinks cats make sense as a pet for little girls and old ladies.

Inverted in series 10 of Big Brother UK, with housemates Sophie and Freddie. Sophie always talked about her beloved pet Chihuahuas, as part of a task she was given the name "Dogface", and actually quite liked it! Freddie said he preferred cats. (Sometimes he even purred!). On separate occasions, Sophie wore dog facepaint and Freddie wore cat facepaint. Their personalities fitted some dog/cat stereotypes. Sophie was a Dumb Blonde, which could go with the trope that Dogs Are Dumb, while Freddie was an eccentric loner, which may go with a male version of Crazy Cat Lady, as well as Introverted Cat Person.

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey: The Seavers view their pets as family pets, just as the kids look after each other, but officially, Shadow the Golden Retriever, Sassy the Himalayan, and Chance the American Bulldog note  Boxer in the sequel belong to their older son, Peter, daughter Hope, and younger son, Jamie, respectively. At the end of the sequel, the family takes on Chance's girlfriend, Delilah the Kuvasz, and it seems for a moment like the kids' mother, Laura, will subvert this trope and favor her, but it's apparently agreed that Delilah will be a family pet.

Mickey Mouse has a dog named Pluto the Pup while his girlfriend/wife Minnie Mouse has a kitten named Figaro. note  However, for a brief period at the beginning of their history, Pluto was Minnie's dog. Figaro also originated in Pinocchio, where he was the pet of Gepetto, making him another aversion.

Inverted in the Friends episode "The One With Rachel's Book". Chandler describes his idea of his future with Monica: a house in the suburbs with a cat, etc. Monica likes the idea but changes the plan to "dog" instead. Though this might have something to do with their couple roles.
