Any fool can own a dog. Dogs are stupid and easily led. They will take up with any person that adopts them.

Cats, on the other hand, will not. You have to be a strong person to own a cat. If you are looking to have a pet so you can have some fur person fawn all over you to make you feel superior, then cats are not for you.

Owning a cat is like having an equal. They love you if they love you and they don't if they don't. You cannot make a cat love you. A cat is no subordinate. You earn their friendship and trust.

An awful lot of people cannot handle cats because they have pets to boost their ego. The biggest ego booster of all is if a cat, who normally doesn't need anyone, decides that you are their person. I am my cat's and my cat is mine.
