They are! Especially when they're still sleeping in your bed an hour after you've gotten up and then they finally get up only to try and find you so they can sleep on you.

Cats are wonderful pets. They're pretty damn useful too. We keep a few outside so they can do some ratting for us. They'll even attack green iguanas (an invasive species here) and kill em if they work together. They don't really chase after birds.

Had to sit on the side that hides the model number. Old keyboard and too big to be an X series so I'm going with the T40

Do they actually bond with people? I was more of a dog person when I was a kid, we had a cat too but he wasn't very nice. I'm thinking about getting a rescue cat because having a dog probably wouldn't work with my lifestyle.

Cats bond with humans, but their behavior is not as overt as dogs. A lot of dog people will say that cats don't love you because of this. cats interact with humans on their own terms, so how you would behave towards a cat would be different than how you behave towards a dog.

Cats are good pets.

I had the same cat for twelve years, since I was eight. She was a Siamese Tabby stray that we picked up, and she was my cat. She'd sleep in my room constantly, sit in my lap when I was on computer, and some nights she slept on my back.

Two days ago she peed on my bed. I didn't know why, and I was really pissed at her about it. Of course I didn't do anything to her though, I just put on some fabric cleaner, put sheets in the wash and carried on my day. Then she fell off the couch. She fell and couldn't get up. She started meowing a lot - mind you, she was a silent cat.

It turns out that she was having a hard time walking due to a tumor she had in her intestinal tract that I didn't even know about, and she had just broken her hip. The only reason she wet my bed was because she was dying. I held her in my arms the whole drive to the vet, and she yowled in pain and teethed my shirt, which I know as a cat trying to seek comfort, likening to the days when it was just a kitten with its' mother. It was her time. I watched the vet put her to sleep. I couldn't watch the vet put her down.

I miss her. I missed her so much when I moved out of my parent's for college, and she missed me. I moved back in because my mother was getting sick, and the day that I got home, she started sleeping in my room again, something she never did when I was gone.

I miss Maggy. I miss her so much.

The majority of cats bond to a single person. You may not notice it when you go to a persons house that their cat is imprinted on their owner because your presence shy's the cat away, or grabs its attention depending on the cat, but as soon as you leave the house their cat is within their vicinity every second it's awake. My cat literally follows me everywhere I go when I'm home regardless of whether it just ate or not. He waits in the window for me to get home and get's excited when he hears my car pull up. Separation anxiety is a very common problem in cats. They aren't nearly as independent as people like to claim.
