Sorry, but unlike dogs, your cat will never really love you

It’s just not in their DNA. If you’re lucky your cat [i]likes[/i] you. You can like cats better for various reasons (lower maintenance, etc.) but don’t you ever tell me they make better companions. Dogs actually love you back.

Not really.

Dogs have just a more servile way of displaying it. But obedience/worshipping and loving are different things, if people confuse the two concepts, as ViciDraco said, the problem isn't on the animal(s).

@Elessar the article mentions [i]fondness.[/i]. Yeah sure your cat can be fond of you, but love is a chemical reaction that objectively happens at much lower levels for cats
