Dogs don't appeal because of the neediness.
Even my siamese got too much sometimes.

all pets have the neediness of being a prisoner.
I assume your cat doesn't feed itself. I like dogs because they're smarter than cats, and big dogs because they're smarter than small yappy dogs, red setters aside. I'd prefer a chimp, I'd train it to insult deaf people in sign language, though I've heard they occasionally rip their owners face off

In the right setting, cats can mostly feed themselves.
It is easier to persuade humans to provide food than to hunt and they are rubbish at building fires.
