Re: Obsession with cats
I believe a lot of people have infatuation with cats because at their core, cats are still wild animals and one step from being feral.
Leave a cat on his own, he hunts, takes care of himself, and generally has no problems - dogs would die -
dogs defer to the leader of the pack without question. Nazi's did studies where they'd maim a dog to within an inch of it's life, but it's still lick the hand of the owner. Cats won't go for that crap.
And for all their appreciation by women, I think most of us like them because at the end of the day, they revert back to wild habits very easily - they're barely domesticated, and I think a lot of 2+2'ers can appreciate that sort of independance -
In the end, if you have a cat who wants your attention, you've probably earned it's trust - it's a more giving form of affection. Dogs will just wag their damn tail at anyone.
