When a cat rubs up against your leg it's actually marking it's territory, rather than showing affection. It's basically marking you as it's property.

Cats. I like dogs, but I had a fear of them when I was younger, and I'm still a bit intimidated by them now.

I'm definitely a dog person. Cats are cool, but my wife is allergic. A Savannah cat would be great to own.

I don't find myself longing for affection or companionship with cats. I get those things, but without the relentless neediness of dogs. When a cat likes you, it's because it likes you, not because it needs you.

That's the feeling I get with cats, too, Pedestrian.

Then I remember a cartoon I like that shows the thoughts of a cat who is sitting next to its disturbed-looking owner: "If you were smaller, I would eat you." I think that's probably true. I have a feeling that a dog would be less likely to eat its human if the person suddenly shrunk down to mouse size.

Cats often seem more reserved with their affection and need more space and privacy than dogs, but when cats *do* bond they can be very intimate. I relate to and feel more comfortable with that, so being around cats is easier for me than being around dogs. When I'm with cats, I can relax. I feel like I'm with my own kind...minus the cat traits of being a carnivore and having a penchant for chomping up spiders and cockroaches!

It's funny that you say cats genuinely like you and feel intimate, because I've always felt mine use me as a food/comfy bed/scratching dispenser. They're probably just reserved in their affections, but still, I always get the feelig that cats are in it more for the perks than the people.

Cats are only good for one thing

i had a dog and a cat

my dog was noisy, barked all through the night, and was usually smelly needing a bath at least once a day, my dad gave it up for adoption

my cat was naughty and terribly mischievous, but it was some sort of "familiar" to me, i nearly cried when my dad had to give it away. cos it was a total terror to my relatives (climbing up the sofa to paw their hair unexpectedly)

i suppose i loved my cat, and didn't really care for my dog
