Thing is cats don't protect you, dogs do, but I can't disagree with you when you say cats are friendly and loving, they very much are. And mine are boisterrous too...I wish they do one tangible thing of protecting you like dogs, but well, you can't have that...
I heard the purrs have good healing powers, not very sure, I get purrs at times, not that often, when cat garu sleeps in my lap, not often.
Oh, I disagree. I have a Guardian Cat. One time maintenance came into my apartment to fix my sink when I was at work. Maggie and Deidre (since passed), were my two cats at the time. I came home to a note that said I was going to have to lock my cat in the bedroom if I wanted him to fix my sink.
The office was still open, so I ran down and asked the super, which cat? Because both of them generally hid when anyone was over. The tortie or the tabby? She said the tortie (that's Maggie).
Apparently, she was growling and hissing at him doing a standoff in the front hallway, and he came in and was like, "OK, nice kitty, I'm just going to fix the sink." So when he was ass up under the bathroom sink, she came in and batted him on the ass!
Mind you, Maggie is declawed in the front (I did not do it, I adopted her from the shelter that way and didn't even know until she had been here a few weeks), so she didn't scratch him, she just beat his butt.
Ever since, the rule is that I have to be home for maintenance, because I have an Attack Cat. :D
Wow... yeah cats attack when threatened, atleast they growl, but say you need protection for yourself, your home, dogs I thought protect, cats run and hide.
HA... MAggie is some cat... she will make a great gaurdian cat. But from a strangers point of you, I will be afraid to go near a cat, it might bite, but a cat coming and beating you on the butt, that's very unique!!
