I can understand the appeal of cats to a certain extent. They are less "needy" than doggs in that you can leave them alone in the house for days at a time. But they are some angry, moody, bi-polar mufuckers for the most part. One second you're petting one and it's purring. The very next second the fucker is clawing and biting the shit out of you cause ...... well there is no reason.
