I've had no experience with cats myself, but I understand they can be quite affectionate and attentive, but only up to a point. Maisy, my little Scottie, jumps all over me, has to share what I'm eating, and understands every word I say. She was given to me two years ago by my sister (a cat owner) because she was unwanted.
Nothing wrong with cats but I love dogs. I rescue senior dogs that have been dumped when they get medically expensive or just abandoned. I only get them for a year or two because they are near the end of their life but I get to spoil the hell out of them.
I’ve had ten or twelve of them in the last ten years.
"Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.” ― Christopher Hitchens, The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever
Pretty girl! I'm a dog person. I have a Golden Retriever whom I dearly love (well, maybe that's an overstatement). I also have a cadre of barn cats -- anywhere between three and six at any given time. I appreciate their efforts, but only the dog gets in the house.
