Based on my web search, I found that there is indeed research suggesting that the human-animal bond is strong and that pets positively impact their owners’ health. However, this research does not specifically state that the bond between humans and cats is stronger than that between humans and dogs.
Another study developed a new measure of the human-animal bond called the family bondedness scale (FBS) and found that the scores on the FBS showed equivalence between cat and dog owners (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2021.812922/full). This suggests that the strength of the bond between humans and their pets may not be dependent on the species of the pet.
