OK, I'll be first to respond to this troll...

I can't recall the last time I saw a mountain rescue cat, a sniffer cat, • or
a guide cat for the blind, for that matter :-)

I'm a cat hater (1), but I'll be the first to point it out.  Who's the
smarter animal, the animal that devotes intelligence to slaving away for
mankind on tasks like mountain rescue, guiding, sniffing, etc, or the
animal that devotes intelligence to getting mankind to slave away for it
and avoids actually being perceived as able to carry out any actual
tasks?

Cats are smarter. Evil, lazy, cruel, smelly, yes, all those things, but
smarter.

Agreed.  Love for dogs is narcissistic; love for cats is clearly • unconditional.
To get a cat to love you is an accomplishment.

I had a cat once, Tasha was her name, I loved that cat.
When I was crying in my early years, she would lay down beside me in my crib,
and I would stop crying and start to suck my thumb....
When I got older she would sleep in my bed with me at night...we had a great
relationship, but then in 97' we found out she had a kidney disorder and she
wouldn't live past christmas, so we did the humane thing...we put her down...
Well I'll always have the memories....
