That is because you have never had a cat, and known the companionable affection a cat can give.

I have on fact owned a cat, your assumption about me is erroneous.

The ungrateful freeloaders only bother you when it wants something. As someone else said, Cats think you are the pet.

I prefer a dog, its there when you need it, instead of only turning up when it needs you.
