You see, my sister has an adorable dog but I have to say, after a few days I find myself thinking it's not very bright because it constantly follows you everywhere, unless there is someone else to follow. That would drive me nuts. I like cats because they are not predictable, they have their own agenda.

But I also know a lot of really friendly, cuddly cats who come and sit on you as soon as you are sitting somewhere. My father has a time-share cat (it belongs to the neighbours but they don't really play with her) and she once woke me up in the night because she wanted to be cuddled and stroked. Seriously. Annoying but very cute too.
