I would take my cats any day over humans. Even though they specialize in making work for me and have a six sense as to what I don't want, which is what they do.
One cat is always jumping up, wanting to ride on equipment. One particular cat I had for twenty one years once jumped in my lap, and pissed on the telephone, which I was on with a particularly difficult and dangerous woman. Makes you wonder what they know!
I have little use for dogs, which are just too Needy for my liking. Not that I hate them or anything.
