Now, I don't think that's necessarily the case -- maybe it just depends on the cat. I have a chronic illness that can make me very sick at times. My 11-year-old cat has stuck by me since she was a kitten, and she becomes quite upset when I don't feel well -- literally refuses to leave my side. And you should hear the talking-to I get from her when we get back from vacations. It's not like there isn't someone to take care of her, but one time we were gone for almost two weeks and she wouldn't speak to me for THREE days after we got back. I don't think they have a small range emotion. They're just more difficult to read.

I like the cats (hell, I kept one in the freezer for six months), but the dogs become part of the family. They seem much more in touch with human emotions. They become distressed when I'm distressed. The cats could care less. When the family is happy, the dogs are happy. The cats were always on an even keel. Very little range of emotion. Dogs, in short, are more human. But hey, I like them all.
