Cats, they make much better friends than dogs do. My cat was more awesome than any pet can ever be. She'd know how I was feeling, if I was happy she'd go grab a toy with a string and bring it to me to play, if I was sad she'd come and rub her head against me in a loving way. She'd also like to do video game things related, every time I turned on my Playstation or my Dreamcast she'd come and watch me play, she'd even react to how I played fighting games, if I won she'd come let me pet her, if I lost she'd just look at me and look back at the TV. Sometimes I'd lay a controller plugged in and laying on the bed, she'd put her paws on the controller like she was trying to play! Right there is definete proof that cats make much better companions than dogs.
