Depends on the cat. I have cats that cant wait to see me, and cats that dont give a fuck. I knew a woman who could tell a cat to do pretty much anything including fetch what she wanted and it would do it without fail. It could even find things in the other room. slippers, sock, hosery, pens combs. I am not joking. It would also find people she wanted to talk to and try to herd them to her.
It is easy to see where the idea of witches and cats as their familiars came from. It was amazing. |

My cat knows the sound of my vehicle and will follow me down the street to my house. Comical to look up in the rearview mirror and see a cat following me. He doesn't do it to any other vehicle in the neighborhood, and I have to watch carefully when I come home because he will get so excited that he will run out in front of my car.
When I park, he runs right up to my feet and flops over onto his back and rolls on the sidewalk. And I know its not because of food, because he usually doesn't follow me into the house to get fed. |

He had learned his name within a few days after we got him and comes when you call him (well, usually). What's more interesting, though is the cat knows the dogs name and the dog knows the cat's name. |

Pretty decent read, made me glad I don't own cats. This was the most alarming thing: "When parasites found in cat litter infect humans, they seem to subtly change personality over time" So the crazy cat lady wasn't always crazy? "experiments have found that dogs demonstrate an attachment with their owner — compared to a stranger, the dogs become more disturbed when their owners leave, and interact with them more when they return.By contrast, Mills' cat experiments — which are still ongoing and haven't yet been published, but were featured in a BBC special last year — haven't come to the same conclusion. On the whole, the cats seem disinterested both when their owners depart and return." Here is a pic of the parasite that drives the owners crazy http://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/suLXiagq3ab8wWHOvCMfioujYXs=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn3.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/2361010/1280px-Toxoplasma_gondii_tissue_cyst_in_mouse_brain.0.jpg http://www.vox.com/2014/10/16/6982177/the-case-against-owning-cats That's a cool article. |

I'm a huge dog fan and I'm not much of a cat person.
My wife's family is big on cats and I have to say that they are an integral part of their family. The cats are really affectionate. They cuddle, hop around, play and even lick you like a dog will. They also like to play with toys and will return them to you after they are thrown. FWIW, I'm going to politely disagree with the Vet who wrote the article. |

I don't have a problem with cats--however, there are good cat owners and bad cat owners.
Bad cat owners live in the city and let their cats roam at will. I'm personally sick of cleaning cat shit from out of my flowerbeds because some cat owner decided that they didn't want to own a litterbox and preferred to simply let their cat out. I don't let my dog out to roam and go wherever she chooses. So to date one cat went away for good (given to animal control after I trapped it--the owners don't have a clue since they think it's perfectly acceptable to let their cat roam), and another has been targeted with the motion detecting sprinkler because the owner did the same. That cat went to Animal Control for over a month until her owner saw it on FB and paid the fine. Unfortunately, the fine didn't do much to deter her from continuing to let her cat roam. People need to be more responsible for their pets. A good cat owner has cats who never leave the warmth and protection of the house. Indoor cats are healthier and live longer lives. |

Going to have to call bullshit on that one.
My cat is waiting by the door whenever I come home on a set schedule. If I take take too long getting the door open I can hear him mowing on the other side. And if not he is not there he comes down immediately to see me. He is always hanging out with me. He is next to me on the couch right now. He seems to really only like me though. He hides from most other people. I'm sure some cats are very independent. But it is a lie to say they are all like that. My cat was a rescue that was left outside when his family moved. He knows he has a pretty sweet life right now and is appreciative as fuck. I will say it is a little freaky when I wake up and he is like an inch from my face staring at me haha |

Ironically enough she'll come to me whenever I tell her to but the Husky won't until I tell him why I want him to come here. The Doberman doesn't give a shit and thinks he's a lapdog anyhow so comes over as soon as I look at him. I've had dogs my entire life, I just got a cat pretty much a year ago exactly, and I wasn't even planning on it, she showed up on my back porch one night, jumped on my lap and pretty much moved right in and every morning when I wake up she's either sleeping on the bed, or sleeping on me. The dogs do the same thing too but I usually notice when that much weight plops down in the middle of the night, she's more like a furry ninja at doing it. |

I hate cats, they use my yard with small rocks as a fucking litter box. My dogs get cats fairly often and it is the end for the cat when they do. Best one was the cat that thought it could sit on the fence and antagonize the dogs until one jumped up and got it, it was tug of war after that.
I don't like cat people at all. Men that own cats make me think they take it up the ass as they are secretly a woman, women are the ones that love cats. |

"On the whole, the cats seem disinterested both when their owners depart and return."
That's a load of crap. Our cats sleep on our bed and then hover around us like crazy in the morning when we wake up. When we leave they are on the front window sill watching us go every time. When they hear us drive up when we come home they run to the back sliding door to watch us, then by the time we make it in another door, they are down the stairs to greet us right by the door. |

I can call him with his name and even stop his actions with a no, although the look he gets on his face tells me it really pisses him off. I've walked him many times with the dog, and they just trot along together like the best of bros. I have another cat who literally will run from two rooms away when I call her name. Every time, no matter what, she'll run and hop up in your lap if you call her. Honestly, I think cats show far more affection to humans than dogs do. |
