Cats are basically the bastards of the domesticated animal kingdom.

The things they do would normally be intolerable in a human. But, somehow when compressed into the personality of a 5lbs fur ball its adorable. Think about it; if your friend took a dump in your laundry room, threw up on your couch, and sat on your chest while you slept, the likelihood of you ever speaking to him again would be remote.

Cats are often thought of as being smarter than dogs because they withhold their affection for you. A dog that is universally loyal to you in spite of all that you do to him seems dim-witted and slow. A cat that avoids being in the same room as you unless fed properly seems saucy and playful.

This is not to say I dislike cats. Not in the least. I'm allergic to all animals; I just prefer to spend my time with one that doesn't look at me with contempt and disgust.

We probably give cats the same leeway that we give our jackass friends. Everyone loves a bastard. As horrible they may treat you at times, in the end there is a genuine relationship. It's just hidden beneath piles of prickish behavior and cat vomit.

I dunno, perhaps I'm being to harsh in the criticism of the cat. Originally I wrote a better post, but I eated it.
