I think it is kinda hot. Cats may be cute and cuddly, but underneath their fuzzy exterior is possibly the most leathal killing machine designed by nature. We just think they are kinda wimpy compared to dogs because we can only keep the small ones around. I read once cats are seven times stronger than a dog of the same size. Plus they are faster, more agile, and have razor sharp claws that can rip through flesh like butter. Compared to the killing perfection in your typical feline, a dog is nothing more than a degenerate wolf.
Sure, a dog like a Rottweiler might be able to get the best of a small housecat. Try putting that dog up against something its own size like a cougar and see how long the dog lasts.
And we're not even getting into the really nice features of a cat, such as the fact that they are smart enough to tidy up their won feces and they are mostly self cleaning. Plus they are nice and warm and fuzzy. Their aloofness is a bit overstated, because my two cats will hop up on the couch with you the fist chance they get and one will even get under the covers and lay right next to my wife. That's just as much companionship as any dog will give you. Heck, one of mine will even fetch small bottle caps and sock hangers my wife throws across the room. What more could you want out of a pet?
Just stay away from the purebreds. Inbreeding only causes genetic weakness and it is a crime against nature and evolution in my opinion. People who spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to create a genetically crippled animal should almost be locked up. Mixed breed is where it is at, as they tend to be the sweetest, heathiest and smartest cats. All my cats have been mixed breed, and they've all been great pets.
