Yes, cats have their place, usually hiding in a closet somewhere. Dogs are just more fun I think. Nothing beats coming home to that excitement of a dog.

The truth is that dogs are frequently loved because they are subservient; while cats are often loathed because they are Regal.

I jest as well. I know that many dogs serve faithfully in many ways, while cats express love and provide comfort more subltly. I do love dogs. But, there is room in my heart for both.

Dogs rule.

It’s my contention that cats love me because I’m not fond of them.

There have been individual cats I’ve liked, although those cats have been more like dogs – friendly and affectionate.

Dogs usually circle around a few times before lying down, and sometimes they do something a bit like scratching/digging before lying down as well. Kneading is gentler and more delicate, with the paws. I’ve only seen cats do it.

I recently observed a neighbor’s dog doing the same before lying down.

Sadly, cats are so often the targets of abuse by sick or evil people. I wonder if they sense that they need to establish relationships–on their terms, of course.
