With cats it feels like they just deal with you out of convenience. Dogs 100% love you and would die for you.
Which is a lot of pressure to deal with, for some people. They also, depending on the breed, 100% depend on you for basic needs. Cats are at least mostly self-sufficient in that regard, and can be trained to do more.
My cat actually acts a bit like a dog : follows me, wants pets, fiercely protective.
That is only because the cats sense that you don't like them. If you actually liked them they behave pretty much as you experience dogs does to you.
