Why always a dog?? why not a cat???

Ok I just have a few things to say to you people...
Im a huge cat and dog person and have had both as pets since I was a child.

all you douchebags that claim that cats dont care, are cold, whatever nasty thing you have to come up with obviously is just heartless and has never really owned a cat before.

there have been real life stories about cats risking their lives to save their owners. I saw a story on Animal Planet once where a cat lived with its owner, a woman in a house. one day, while the woman was sleeping, her cat kept meowing and touching her trying to get her to wake up. she did and saw smoke coming out of her door. the window in her room was open and the cat could have saved herself and left the owner to die but instead she led her owner safely out of the house but was trapped in the house doing so. the house burned down and the owner felt bad but they found her cat alive.

I even have stories about cats I've owned as well. I had a cat named Tigress who reminds me a little bit of Hachi, when I was five. she was pretty much my dads cat but I adored her and spent most of my childhood with her. every single day she would follow me to school and go home after I went to class. my dad would go on jogs miles away and was shocked to find our cat right behind her. she followed him everyday until he went to work. then my parents got divorced and we had to move out of our house. my dad didn't want to take her so we gave her to the family that moved in. I went to visit her months later and the family said that even though they took her in and fed her, she ran away and never came back =( I had a horrible feeling that she was probably looking for us and never found us.



I have another cat now named Sonny who I've had for five years. I had to go to North Carolina for two weeks one summer and I left alot of food and water and my niece and nephew came and fed him every couple of days while I was gone. when I called my niece to check up on him, she told me that she tried to be social to him but he was always hiding from her and never came out.

after those two weeks when I came back, I called for him and he wouldn't come out. I looked under the bed and he saw me and right away he came out and started meowing the most painful sounding meow I have ever heard. it sounded so depressing. he kept rubbing himself against my legs and I actually thought there was something wrong with him. to this day, everytime he sees me bring a suitcase out, he starts crying all over the house, follows me, and jumps in the suitcase LOL. he's so attached to me, I can't imagine what would happen if I left and never came back!

cats may not be as loyal to humans but why should they anyways? especially if they're abused or abandoned. If you people actually care about animals, you should be happy that cats are independent and don't always get too attached and depressed. I feel bad for dogs like Hachi because his owner would have never looked for him for nine years. I don't think any human would be that faithful to their cat or dog.

and as much as I love dogs, they're not always that great either. there are dogs that have actually killed people. I've met many dogs who don't really like anyone at all. I have a dog right now who doesn't even give a crap about me or anyone else who takes care of him. he just sits there and ignores us, no affection, NOTHING. and he was like that as a puppy!

my point is, cats and dogs can both be loving or they can both not care about you. It always depends on each individual cat or dog, just like how there are good and bad people in the world

yet again, its like your stating that EVERY cat is that way and thats not true. and not all dogs are friendly
