I couldn't live with that. If I feed an animal, I expect it to be grateful to me, not just lick the bowl and go out and catch a rat. I had a cat when I was younger, called smokey, and while I liked it, I didn't get the impression my feelings were returned. My brother and I would spend ages coaxing it onto our beds at night, only to have it jump off and go back downstairs.
I don't see cats as companions, more like parasites, leeching off the host and giving little in return, apart from the occasionaly purr to get you to feed it some more.

MEGA-cute pictures there, Alius42. I'll show these to my wife tonight, just to see her get all mushy and wimpy. Fun!
I definitely find that, as someone who grew up with cats and finally his long-desired dogs as a grownup, I prefer my poochies. Mainly because of their great personalities, which make up all the good parts of human kids (curiousity, good humor, loyalty) and none of the bad (growing up to be teenagers).
And they help warm your feets at the breakfast table on chilly hardwoods! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
