There's no reason why there can't be great films about loyal cats. To be honest, it would be far more interesting. Dogs are pack animals and it's normal for them to be "loyal"- it is their nature. It would be far more remarkable to have a film about a loyal cat, since they are natural loners. My own first cat Pippa was fantastic and loyal. My current one Rosie does have a tendency to visit a lady down the road though!
However, I really enjoyed this film and was practically in tears from the moment Hachi sat forlornly waiting for his master that first day he didn't return.
Garfield is a caricature- over exaggerated version of a cat. If they weren't loyal and loving, millions of us wouldn't share our homes with them.
BTW, as an obsessive cat person who works in a library, I'm REALLY looking forward to Dewey!
