I told her I wish I could have a dog. She asked why and I realized that I like the idea of coming home to a "fat, dumb & happy to see me dog" -- cats seem to have a lot less of that characteristic. She answered that she preferred cats because they didn't love you automatically, were moody & had to be seduced a little. Hmmph, my own children make me run around the living room chasing them down for a hug. Why would I want a moody cat stalking around my house with an aloof coy grin on it's face?

I love my cats, don't get me wrong, but there are many, many days I'd love it if they weren't hiding beneath a bed somewhere just when I could use a good purry lapwarmer (noooooot so sure about that whole more intuitive bit). I can't wait until we're in a situation (house, yard, no toddler) when we can introduce a dog.
I have to agree that our male cats have been far more laid-back and friendly than our female cat.
