As opposed to dogs where you can just abuse and mistreat them and they'll still be loyal! Clearly the smarter pet.

Dogs have been bred for blind obedience and unconditional love towards humans. This is one of the reasons I prefer cats. A cat likes you (or not) by choice. A dog literally cannot do anything else, it’s bred into its genes. Even then, you have to keep a dog on a leash or train it not to wander off. My cat can go out whenever she wants and she comes back every time, zero training required.

A cat is a companion, a dog is a slave.

Yep, I feel exactly the same way.

When a cat wants to spend time with you they actually want to.

You can smack a dog and do whatever you want to it and they'll still come running to spend time with you. It's not loyal, it's just stupid.

That's a social trait, not an intelligence one. The fact you view kindness and loyalty as stupidity speaks volumes about your character....

Ever heard the term loyal to a fault? There's loyal and there's stupid.
