and sleep. for 20 hours each day
I have a cat, he's deaf and completely insane and I love him but I wouldn't say he was a bundle of joy. He's just a cat, and exists for no purpose but to be one.
Dude, I love cats. My dog just gets on my nerves all the time, while my cat just sits there and chills. Regardless, I think spending a couple years with a cat by my side would be a million times better than spending a minute with a loud, obnoxious dog.
OK, not all dogs are loud and obnoxious, but you catch my drift.

My cats a bit of both. Sometimes he can be a source of amazing fun as he goes into a hyper fit and darts across the room if I move as much as a finger, Yet he can be an annoying little prick if I'm trying to get to sleep and he meows at my door and I open it for him only for him to look up as if to say "Lol no" and walks off. So he's an annoying fun ball of fluff. Also his name is Tippex.
I like cats for one reason, and one reason only: If you put a dog in a car on a hot day it will die within 2 hours (they dont even try to escape), you can leave a cat in a car over a period of 4 hot days and when you come back the cat will be sitting on top of the car plotting to deficate in your shoes for trying to kill him.
i brought a kitten about couple of mounths ago now she some times get on my nerves but my dog ust to the only thing what i dont like is when she walks right under my feet when am carrying something and because she is dead small am scared of stepping on with my size 12 shoes lol
but apart from that she is ace and very friendly lol

I'm a cat person.
I'd also remind people that cats are the first and most important of the three great "companion species" to humanity. While sort of irrelevent, keep in mind that cats have been integral to establishing civilization.
Why? you might ask. Weren't other animals more useful? What do cats do except be cute and purr?
Well the answer is quite simple, they hunt vermin. Especially at lower tech levels vermin were a huge problem in any large gathering of people. Rats and such would get into supplies of food and taint it, both stored on land and in the holds of ships. There were also problems with disease, and while cats were incorrectly blamed at the beginning of "The Black Plague" they were also eventually part of the solution.
Without cats, arguably civilization would have failed on any large level. This is how they became prolific among people. It's also ironic how in some urban areas people go to animal services to chase stray cats and such away, and then a while afterwards have an even worse problem with rodents. The prescence of cats (at least not overly domesticated ones who cease to even consider hunting) generally tends to be inversely proportionate to the vermin population in any area.
The other two companion species in order of importance are dogs (help in hunting, and protection), and Horses (heavy labour, and rapid travel). Horses being the least useful today due to innovations in machinery which can cause people to travel faster and move weights far more efficiently.
At any rate if humanity is obligated to preserve any species, or choose animals to bring to colonize other planets, those are the three closest to humanity and most responsible for helping us with our success overall.
The point of this propaganda piece is that I think a lot of people miss the point of cats, why they were domesticated, and how bloody useful they have been through history (and arguably continue to be, even if our food and such is more safely stored).

I love my cat but, she's a bit of a psycho. One moment she's the most cuddly thing on the planet the next, she's slitting my wrists with her claws. People have actually asked me if the scars on my arms are from me cutting myself.
i really like cats. i could sit for hours stroking them sometimes... or i could, if i wasn't allergic to them. it's just infuriating, i cant be in the same room as one for more then half an hour. i'm generally ok with stroking them outside though.
when i was really small, my parents had a pet cat. i lack any memories of the cat in question, but i am told i was naturally good with it.
i was supposed to be immunized for my allergy to cats at one point, but my parents then discovered the process was currently illegal in Britain, so i was not allowed to on the grounds that it was too dangerous. the idea still didn't phase me though, and i plan to have the immunization performed once i become able to leave this country on my own, and once i can afford it.

Dogs and Humans came together out of a shared need. Both needed companionship, Humans needed a helping hand, Dogs needed protection and reliable food supply.
Cats came to humans because some Humans need the companionship, whereas the cat simply needs someone to look after them and clean up after them.
They sound similar, until you look at it and realise that the solitary nature of cats and the pack instict of dogs make the owner a Master to a dog, and a Carer for a cat. A cat can be as bitchy, ignorant and dissmisive to a Carer as it pleases, whereas a dog would NEVER consider doing anything that goes against the Master
