When I would visit my grandmother, the cats would always run to me even they hadn't seen me in months.

, I like dogs. They always want to do what you want but cats want you to do whatever they want. Cats are very self centered.

, I like the dogs more than cats. Because dog can tell me when she can hear the doorbell. She will bark. She always wake me up.

pinky... I know you inquired (and others posted) without any intentions but my poor cats are offended and I'll speak for them. especially because we do not take anyone's thoughts as 'opinions' if you never had a cat or enough experience/knowledge. experience does make a big difference for better understanding/perspectives.

for instance..

eight of mine aren't. at all. it really depends on how you look at them, think of them, treat them and portion of love you give them. they feel you, ESP you (read your heart, not just your mind). maybe try to love them differently now?


my cat can too, she comes to me and goes back to the sounds. and, she paws my nose/lips if my eyes are closed. a fact here, I'm looking to get her a service cat certificate - before my dog retires.


hmm, all do shed... just more or less. not to mention, more than cats do. another fact here, I have one dog and more than a dozen of cats living at my house, can you guess which more furs I find? don't complain, groom them weekly.

and all of my cats are known as the excellent furtravellers as well. just ask for a picture if you'd like.

not at my house. but you're right, pet owners who don't keep their house clean is the key problem. very standard. sad for responsible pet lovers like us (notice owners and lovers?) come here and if I hide all of my animals in a room for few minutes, you'll never know I had a cat. in all senses.

not always - only one out of my dozen cats are afraid of guests. that is because she is deaf and her abusive herstory, not just the breed.

again, no one should complain - trim their claws, BUY stratching posts, find solutions (may vary for individuals) to prevent jumps/tears and train them humanely. *end of my soapbox, goes to refrigator for a wine*

as for topic's question - I don't play any role of favoritism or live by preferences for any creatures - I love all creatures; A to Z...well, to G actually and I to Z, thailand's hog-nosed bat (smallest, smaller than many insects and snails) to blue whales (the largest mammal in the world) and even all S's (spiders, slugs, snails, snakes and snunks). I believe every species were born on this earth for this, a very reason.
