not a source, but as a cat enthusiast i'd say it's kinda sorta true but not to the degree that's implied, it's more like cats just generally don't bother to treat other animals differently unless it's prey, while dogs do go "hey this isn't a dog so i'll be a bit careful about how i communicate with them", but then that could also just be due to training.
