I know th hachiko's story was real, but...
I mean c'mon all the times the cats are the bad guys, and the dog its a heroe
the cat's are noble and friendly too!!!
I want to see a film with cats!!!!
Anyway, i like that movie, what do you think?
Watch the movie Oliver and Company if you want to watch a loyal cat...nothin exciting about a damn stupid cat.
shareCats are in no way noble, but obnoxious pests.

1. They don't jump because they don't care about anybody including their masters
2. They mostly stay away even if you want them to cuddle around you. On the other hand when its food time, they will come regardless.
3. Taking the dog out for a walk everyday. That's one of the joys of owning a dog. Dogs also don't take a dump in the middle of the road.
4. Space is a constraint for you? Dogs can adjust irrespective of whether you live in a large mansion or a one room shanty.
5. I don't like lapdogs either. I mostly love bigger breed of dogs but as I said a big dog can adjust to a small house.
6. If you don't love taking care of your pet, may be you shouldn't own one. Brushing a dog, bathing a dog etc. is a joy and not a chore if you really love the dog.
7. You kidding right? You are saying cats can be toilet trained and dogs can't? :-o
8. Uh what?

Cats are *beep*
shareCats do not display emotion in the same way that dogs. Cats don't have the intelligence to do things that dogs are capable of. That's why dogs are more interesting in movies.
shareCats are "associate members" of a human "pack". They never cede control to humans, despite what they might think. They stay with us because it suits them and because we provide them with food and stroke their faces. Cats find the rubbing of the human hand along their whiskers immensely pleasurable and this is one reason why, many researchers believe, cats formed a bond with us thousands of years ago.
Dogs, on the other hand, see themselves as FULL subordinate members of he family they live with...their pack. To a dog you are either the alpha male or female and they feel obliged to show allegiance to you because you provide them with food, comfort and affection.
It's well known that domestic dogs fare very badly when their masters die in natural disasters. Some revert to hunting but many do not and wander aimlessly until they succumb. Cats, on the other hand, are consummate hunters and retain the hunting instinct despite their domestication. If their human carer flees the scene or dies, they can and will survive by hunting any prey available to them.
And so, no cat would have shown the intense loyalty that Hachi did...pure and simple.
spocktom, your response is comprehensive, intelligent and does not resort to demeaning cats or dogs. As a lover of both, my hat's off to you.

The only sad film with a cat is Born free, if you include a big cat
Cats are kind of boring. All they do is sleep. Well, most of them.

Princess and the Frog - 9/10
My cat had her own way of showing affection. She was glad to see me when I came home from work but was cool and hid her emotion by being ravenous. When I slipped and fell in the kitchen once, she came running apparently worried about me, she forgot to be cool then. I think making a film of a loyal cat would be more difficult as dogs are much more demonstrative. It might help to have a voice over about what the cat was "thinking" but even then, I don't know if it could be carried off.
