People say cats are so snooty and independent. Cat haters say they don't like cats because unlike dogs, they're not interactive and have no personality (other than being, well, catty.)
I personally couldn't disagree more! Every cat I have ever had has been dog-like in the sense that they like to fetch, cuddle, lick my face, paw my face, and so on! I feel that with cats, you get what you give.
If you buy a cat because you'll be gone all day and can "ignore" them, they'll ignore you too. But if you start out by showering them with love and affection, the cat will give it back to you. This is just my personal experience. What do you think? Do you have a cat that just won't be nice, no matter how hard you try, or do you agree that cats will match you cuddle for cuddle?
