And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Well if by that you mean they don't hump your leg or jump up on you with muddy paws when you get home, you may have a point. It is true that cats tend to be more reserved and less demonstrative than dogs. This may be due to centuries of mistreatment by ignorant cat-haters. Also pertinent is the fact that cats are usually solitary hunters relying upon wariness, stealth and ambush, whereas dogs are generally pack animals. This in turn affects the way these animals adjust to and interact with their human families.
My HouseCat chose me and had little difficulty integrating with his new surroundings. In his way, he's quite affectionate. I don't know if this amounts to love but it's close.
Cats don't love. They barely tolerate at best.
