I never used to but I live with 2 now and they're pretty cool. I'm still a dog person though, big time. If dog's crapped in a litter box, I'd probably have one.

5-0 for "Yes" so far? I'm surprised, I hear so many people say they abhor cats every time the subject is brought up.
I like cats, but I'm not the kind of person who would want a pet if I had my own place. I still prefer dogs though.

Living with a cat is like living with a really lazy, b*tchy female. Cats sleep 20 hours a day, and they only like coming near you when they want something. When my neice comes home, she has to go looking for the cats underneath beds or chairs. If we had dogs, they'd be wagging their tails while they wait at the door for her to come home. Cats are just convinient to own since you basically just have to feed them and scoop out the litter box every once in a while, and you don't need to give them the same amount of attention that you need to give a dog. Dogs still rule but cats are okay.
I agree, a lot of my affection for my cats is based on the fact that they are so individual and independant...they come and go as they wish, they catch their own food when they don't think their being fed enough, and they have the decency to crap in the garden of our more annoying neighbours
Dogs stay because they have few other options, cats stay with you because they want to - if they don't, they re-home themselves.
I also like cats because they are a species of loners, they don't go around in packs. In this way, they are a reflection of myself
Also: 15-0 in favour of cats! Woo!

Cats are cool and laid-back. I like them. Also, cats > dogs. Dogs scare me.

Yes, I love all animals.
It's 23-3 as of this writing.
I know what you mean: there always seems to be somebody, usually a few somebodies, who say they hate cats, can't stand them, almost want to kill them on sight. I really don't get that :sus
But, there always has been something a little...weird about cats. There's still a stigma about them. In the Middle Ages some cats were thought to be witch's familiars. Even as late as a few hundred years ago they would perform cat burnings in Paris.
As someone else above said, I like them for their independence and aloof, introverted loner tendencies. Reminds me of myself. They're also far quieter and cleaner than dogs.

I like the "personality" of cats and have lived with one or two at a time for most of my life. However, once this one goes that's it. No more. The shedding, the untimely meowing and attention-needing, the LITTER, the costs, outrageous vet bills, the puking, the early morning wakeup calls. Just not worth it to me any more. So, no more cats for me. (no more pets in general, actually, I'm done with all of them)
I'll still be more than happy to enjoy other people's cats though.

Yes, though I'd never own one again.
That is another way in which cats are a reflection of myself :b
