Awww, don't run away and sulk NT, facts are facts, even if you don't
like them. ;-(

The whole cats versus dogs (or Linux v Windows or Leave v Remain)
discussions are mostly pointless because of the facts (or lack thereof
re Brexit). ;-)

eg, Linux can be a perfect desktop OS to some, just as a cat can make
a perfectly good companion animal to some, but Linux will never have
the mass appeal / support as Windows in the same way no cat would ever
replace a dog as 'mans best friend' (with all that implies).

They can't because they simply aren't as easy to integrate into a
human world alongside man, especially *outside* the house (ironic for
a hunter), not only because of the average size of a dog (typically
bigger than that of a cat) but a dog's trainability and natural
interest to please and capability to work for us, means they are
simply more practical than a cat, 'as a companion animal' as defined
by Wiki etc.

A 'companion' is someone who typically shares your life with you, and
if your life involves going outside than that's where your 'companion
cat, parrot or pot bellied pig' (typically) stops being so practical /
realistic.

If you are mostly housebound and / or simply don't want your companion
with you most the time and are happy to let *your* companion roam the
streets un-supervised ... then a cat is about the only animal you
could get away with (as you wouldn't be considered being 'responsible'
if you did that with most other animals and further would be held
responsible for any issues by law, unlike with a cat in most cases).
