They're messy, inherently violent, it's impossible to keep them out of stuff, they're FAR more difficult to train than dogs...

When I think about what my ideal cat would be, I think of things like, easy to train, can go outside instead of having to have a litter box, friendly, etc. And then I realize I just described a dog.

My cats are actually really really really friendly. I know that's only anecdotal evidence and it's probably because their a certain breed.

I don't know what sort of cats you ran into, but the cats we have are nothing like that (training aside: as mentioned, they're dumb creatures). It would describe best a cat we had named Dotty, but she was the only one.

-Fahra: lazy, apathetic, can jump really well (her best record is 6' 1": and as she made it with no real effort, I suspect she can jump higher). likes to play, but no sense of curiosity. clean enough. nicknames: Soulles one, tubby-cat
-Kinky (after his tail): likes to hide, timid, friendly when he's out. again, little curiosity. sounds like a squeaky toy: nicknames: squeaky-toy, sunbear (kind of looks like one)
-Leo: this one is...different. cowardly, neurotic, nervous, an attention whore, dainty (and ridiculously clean), loud meowing, irritating at times, moderately curious but extremely wily (almost like a fox), kind of acts like a puppy at times. he's also a pervert: he likes to sniff everyone's butts: other cats, people, even the two ferrets. he happens to be Kinky's brother. (in case you're curious: all have been fixed). his personality (and looks) have lent several nicknames--most are from me:

[spoiler]The puppy-cat
neurotic one
cat with delusions of grandeur
kitty-fiddler
his daintyness
the dainty one
champion meower
annoying one
the feline lackey
bikini cat (he's black with white markings on his belly: these look like he's wearing a bikini)
Congo-baby (this one's my favorite)
boggle-eyes
drama-cat
butt-sniffer

A. Dogs are far worse, you won't see a cat spreading mud all over a house.
B. Well, they are carnivores.
C. Put tape (sticky side up) where you don't want them to be, they will learn.
D. This usually depends on where you live. If you live away from a road, a cat will prefer to go outside. If you live in a populated area or near a road you wanna keep your cat inside.
E. Well ya, Dogs have been bred to obey to humans. Cats are bred to be personal pets.

See I've seen very few dumb cats where I live.
Then, again we have mostly Tabbies of all kinds which are pretty smart.

1. Yes, I have, and 2. you can train dogs not to do that.

QuoteB. Well, they are carnivores.

So are dogs. No excuse.

No Dogs are omnivores.
Although there is a lot of debate about that.
Again, Dogs are bred to be compliant to humans while cats are bred to be personal pets and pest control.
Its comparing apples to oranges.

unlike cats, they're not obligate carnivores. But they are still carnivores--even if they can and do process food matter properly. Similarly Chimpanzees are herbivores (or Frugivores), but can and do engage in carnivory.

A good work out, a nice shower/doing a load of landrury and feeling all clean from it.  And a good can of sardines. *drools*
