I'm A Cat Person

I'll admit it.  I'm a cat person.  Dogs are fine, I just prefer a cat.  I think a big portion of this is because I like the independence of a cat.  You have to work to get them to like you.  A dog is aptly named "a mans best friend".  They are always happy to see you and want to spend all their time with you.  Cats on the other hand most of the time will have other things to occupy their time.  They have to explore, nap, hide, nap, wake you up at 5 in the morning with their cold noses, oh and nap.  Most things happen on their terms.  I like that.  Yes, it can get annoying when you just want to pet or hold one and all they want to do is bite you, but I don't mind.  It means more when a cat that has been standoffish all day comes up and sits on your lap.
