Well my cat is pretty loyal. My cat greets people at the door, begs for attention, and follows me around the house. I feel so bad because no one is ever home at my house anymore and whenever I see her, I make sure you gets the attention she deserves. Has been a faithful companion for 8 years now and I would consider her the same as a supposed "man's best friend." Dogs irritate me when they bark when I walk by. Aside from the liter box, I find cats easier to take care of. Also cats have a lot more understanding than dogs seem to have. If your upset, your cat knows.
