What are cats like?

My Mom believes I should adopt a cat, not only to have a furry companion but because they’re better to maintain than a dog. Which is true because growing up my choice of pet was the dog, and training them was a b$tch. I still adore dogs though so getting a cat would be new to me.

Cats are way more loving and devoted than you'd expect. They bond easily. And they take care of themselves.
It's like having a roomate, all you have to do is leave out the food and water and clean out the litterbox.

@robingoodfellow I actually love my cats are entirely independent of me. Yes, they need me for food and the litter pan. I get lots of affection from them, but since I feel they have me on a leash, what love they give is their choice.
