Environment shapes empathy as much as biology. Those who are conditioned by their existence to be empathetic to others will display it more, while those who are not will display it less. And this transcends the genre category.
My father was emotional, and at the same time was borderline sociopath. Yeah. Myself, however, I am equally emotional. There are a number of movies that I was only able to watch in segments. 30min and that's all. Out of order was best. My son went to a child care facility and they said they would miss him; He was always supportive if someone got a bump, or scraped a knee. He can watch a difficult movie all the way through.
The sociopathic traits have thankfully skipped us both. It might be the cats. As we are both cat people. Put that in the spreadsheet or database and see if it tracks. In case you're wondering, Dad, not a cat person. For those who weren't raise by such as my dad, he would admonish you doing something 'wrong' with the concern about how it made HIM feel. Not really wrong or right, but his feelings were very important.

As a cat lover myself, I might be a bit biased, but I remember reading somewhere that people who like them tend to have better psychological health.
The point is that we should all be allowed to express our emotions and concerns as we see fit.
Yup. Absolutely.
