Confession time! I'm a HUGE cat person. Dogs get the credit for this, but cats are just as loyal and playful as dogs.
I am a dog person so you have to convince me about cats ;)
Well to start, how often do any dogs you know hunt mice or other "vermin" around your house?  I know the corgi I used to have wouldn't.  All she was good for was sass.
I do admit I like that domestic cats still have their wild instinct in them and dogs are become less of a "wolf"
I just appreciate cat behaviors in general, from their body language, to their playing styles, and their urine marking.  Actually, forget what I said about their urine marking.  That's no fun at all.
:) but why are cats less domesticated than dogs?
Domestication of animals
The domestication of animals is the mutual relationship between animals and the humans who have influence on their care and reproduction. Charles Darwin recognized a small number of traits that made domesticated species different from their wild ancestors. He was also the first to recognize the difference between conscious selective breeding in which humans directly select for desirable traits, and unconscious selection where traits evolve as a by-product of natural selection or from selection on other traits. There is a genetic difference between domestic and wild populations. There is
out all sorts of important things such as friendship stronger than prejudice and acceptance of difference.
