    Cats are more low maintenance than dogs. And don't have oily fur. In the country, you'd want at least a cat to keep the mice from your house.

    And cats are cute, why wouldn't you want more than one?

    I would like zero. I do not live in the country and do not have mice. I also do not like cats.

    I love my dogs however, so there you go.

    Will your dog give you a massage when you come home? I think not!

    Do you not like cats because you have strong allergies towards them or do you dislike them because they are not obedient like dogs? They're just like every other living being, you have to learn their language before you can talk to them.

    My dogs will not massage me, that's for sure. However, they are very loving and far more affectionate than any cat I have ever come in contact with. I have cat allergies, but I did not like cats before the allergies manifested, so I cannot blame that on the allergies.

    My beagle will snuggle up next to me on the couch and just put her head in my lap. Also, she does not do the usual beagle howling, so that is helpful.

    Cats are like people, some like snuggling, some don't. Different breeds also have very different dispositions, same as dogs. I've never had a cat that didn't show me any affection though.

    Dogs are social animals, cats are not. Cats can be affectionate, though, all of our cats loved to sleep on our legs and generally be close.

    But basically, if you don't like cats, there's a good chance they will not come close to you. Like dogs, cats can be sensitive that way.

    Also, if you lived in the village of my parents in law, I'm sure you wouldn't like dogs so much anymore. Especially in summer I'd just use ear plugs or my mp3 player to block out the barking and howling. All. F*cking. Night.

    That's not entirely true. Although cats aren't pack animals by nature (discounting lions), domestic cats can form fairly complex social groups, both among themselves and with other animals. It's more of a common occurrence for females than it is for males, but either way you shouldn't underestimate their ability to adapt to different social structures if the environment demands it.

    Heh, one of my old cats had a real nose for this - it was like she had a 6th sense for knowing which people didn't like cats, then would make a game out of it by running around their legs and trying to get into their lap while they tried to shoo her away (usually to little effect). :evil:
