The reason you listed those negative things first is because you don’t really KNOW cats and you’re not exactly attached to them. If you actually knew them, you would list the good qualities over the bad qualities, and some of the bad qualities aren’t necessarily true. Sure, cats may lick themselves, but so do dogs! Cats don’t ACTIUALLY really scratch, even if they don’t have an owner (though they may hiss) but dogs do! This next part is kind of an opinion, but cats make less noise than dogs. You may like the playful barking of a dog, whether it’s a quiet bark, a loud bark, an old dog who doesn’t bark, or a very energetic one. Cats are solitary creatures, but sometimes that makes them even MORE attached (if that makes any sense) to their owner. Sometimes you just need the silent purrs and quiet comfort that a cat provides for you to smile.

I apologize for the long message.
