I think its because cats are considered “animals” that arent up to human intelligence/civilization. Dragons from WoF, for example, are just humans and their society expressed by dragons (which is basically humans dragon-ified). Which is why they represent LGBT+. Its just easy to make fictional beings that can represent human society

I guess there might be backlash too. How comfortable would people be if I said “My cat is gay for my neighbor’s cat?” My friends werent uncomfortable when I said “theres a lesbian dragon in this series Im reading”
