Do cats even know their names? Do they sit on command? I mean I did see a cat on a lead once outside this bar in Brussels but it was like 11am and the owner was smashed. 

 

My cat not only knows its own name but also the name of each member of our family. She understands quite a few other words too and can make herself understood to us about a number of needs (ie when she wants a door opening or when she wants to be fed).

 

Best of all, she is really perceptive of our emotions - if ever I feel a bit down, I can hide it from my family but not the cat, and then she'll come and sit on my knee and nuzzle me.

Men who have cats are very strange people. 

 

You've literally got the choice of an animal with complete loyalty who will die for you, widely described as "man's best friend" and instead they go for a thing that brings mice in the house and wouldn't even be arsed about coming home if some other stranger on the street flashed a bowl of sour milk at it. 

 

But what about people who don't want that? I hate the fact that dogs are so reliant on their owners almost like a brainwashed 3-year-old. Do people need the satisfaction of having a soul so attached to them? Like a sired slave? I can leave my cat for a whole week and It can find food, clean itself, dig a whole, sh*t in it and then be done with it.

 

I like that in a cat. I want a pet but not the embodiment of a retarded golem. I don't feel the need to feed this "loyalty" to my ego. Yeah, a cat will hustle food from anyone but contrary to the wild beliefe, A cat's loyalty is a lot harder to gain. If you treat them right, they will be forever your pet no matter what happenes but they also remember the bad treatment, unlike some dogs that get treated like crap but will happily "come back" with a simple pat on the head.

 

Many People hate cats because they expect their pets to be submissive no matter the way they treat them. For me, a cat is much more than just a pet or a glorified bodyguard. They have the ability to survive without the help of people providing their every need down to picking up their crap.  

 

 

To not make this post too long, Cats are great and people don't want an existence that they perceive as a personal property to act with that much of a free will.

In the past, our family's cat used to wake up my mom using its paws to lightly push mom's face and when she wakes up, the cat will just lead the way to the fridge and sit there waiting for the milk to be poured  lol

Yeah, they're a lot more intelligent than most give them credit for.

 

When mine wants feeding and I'm busy, I'll say, "Go and tell [insert daughter's name]" and she'll go and find her, wherever she is, and tell her instead.

I don't think cats can understand words but they can definitely pick up patterns in soundwaves and build from there. a few times when I wanted the cat to get out of the room, I would say "go" (not in English of course) and wave my hands repeatedly but with time, simple words were enough.

If you don't speak English to him, how do you expect him to understand?

That's all words are and it's exactly what we do.

They have the decency to bury their shit.  Never seen a cat leave its shit on display unless it was very ill.  People who have a problem with cat shit are weirdly obsessed with sniffing their garden.

Also never seen a cat roll about in or eat another animal's shite like dogs do. My brother's dogs have all had a weird obsession with rolling about in and eating rabbit and deer shite, and even on occasion human shite (truckers will take a dump anywhere). Then you have to waste time washing them down when you get home.

Also, I've never known a cat to open the fridge door during the night, eat all its contents because it's a greedy guts, give itself a dickie tummy, and then redecorate the kitchen by pebbledashing the floor and walls with shite. Cus my brother's dog did that aswell.
