Cats have the qualities of superiority you all acknowledge, but is it not somewhat self centred on their part? One feeds them, but they come and go as they wish so long as food, milk and bed is available and to their tastes.
OTOH dogs show a spirit of servant hood and are being found trainable to help disabled folk in many ways.
How many cats assist a blind person in the street, or assist around the home, as some dogs do once trained?
Having rained on the pussies' parade, I'll depart in haste. They're lovely though!
