I don't know, but I've heard they are sneaky and can't be trusted. What is your opinion?

That's stereotyping!!!!!!!! I have had a cat since 1972 - not the same one obviously. The first cat, Oscar, lived with us till he was almost 17 years old. The second cat, Calvin, shared our home for almost 15 years. And now we have Morrie and Murphy who have been with us for 10 years. I can't imagine a time without one of these loving boys.

Different strokes for different folks. Some are dog people, some are cat people. I am one of the latter. Love my cat, and all who preceded her. I find them fairly predictable, if unpredictability is what you expect.
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
Can't be trusted to do what? I mean, what are you going to trust a pet with?
Sneaky? Just because they can move quietly and surprise you with their presence? Just because they aren't as in-your-face as dogs?
Will a cat sneak people food if it can? Sure, most of them will. So will pet dogs, and rabbits, and gerbils.
All depends on what you are looking for in a pet. I know someone who says he hates cats. What good are they, he says. You can't take them hunting. Well, if you are looking for a hunting companion, then, clearly, no, a cat won't be a good pet for you.
But I have cats and they add much, much more to my life then they detract from it, stinky litter boxes included.
Good point, Miss Cellane. I would trust our two guys to be sure to get plenty of rest Interestingly, these two have no interest in our food whatsoever. I would never have believed such a thing to be possible, but it's actually great!
I am very much a cat person....I find cats fascinating and I love that you have to earn their respect and their affection - they just don't hand it out and are quite capable of taking care of themselves on average and retain some measure of independence even as house pets. I love that you can go away for a long weekend and leave clean litter boxes out and ample food out and know that more than likely, your cat will be OK when you return. I love that they are more economical than dogs and that they don't on average need as much attention and fussing as dogs do. In my book cats are the perfect pet for an introvert which DING that would be me.
As a side note, on youtube Purina as a video about cat people and I have to say this is a very rare case of advertising that spoke directly to me and made me feel appreciated. Rob
Well OP, this catt certainly cannot be trusted--to stay out of boxes! it's Maru the box cat. (You all know that when we talk about cats I'll likely mention Maru even though I've got two of my own!)
