Who knows how a cat's mind works...

"They make of us a captive audience to the absurdly sublime. All we can do is watch in awe and disbelief as they twist into knots all we think we know about them and reality. They are truly the masters of the universe."

Dogs are your friends, unlimited and unconditional love and devotion.

Cats are manipulators.

We love them both for different reasons.

Also jokers! They don’t need training to live with us as dogs do, so they can be more aloof, sure, but there’s variety in cat personalities, too.
