No. They are horrible, furry little ingrates whose primary purpose is to convert food into shit, and - unlike you or I or most any other living thing - do so without deriving any actual energy therefrom.
I cannot, in good conscience, endorse them as pets: when they're not consuming vast quantities of cat food or taking ocelot-sized dumps in their litter, they're busy destroying stuff, causing general mischief, and turning my sleeping body into a trampoline.

I would politely note that every cat has a different personality; these two just happen to like parking their furry little butts on their human.
They're very doglike cats.

Dogs, OTOH, are loyal, lovable creatures which no home is complete without.
Sadly, I do not currently have a dog (#Akitas & Spitz-breeds are my favorite dogs, hands-down), though once I've got some things straightened out, I fully intend on having another 😊
