I used to be a dog-only person, but now I have four cats, and I have to say all four of them are more affectionate and loyal than my dogs ever were. That said, it really comes down to the individual animal, I've met some pretty sketch cats. I'll just call myself a cat AND dog person, and that is one cute kitten you've got there

Those types of issues are the owner's fault; not the cat's.

The photos you posted make it appear as though the cat is close to the same breed as mine (American Bombay), and from what I understand, chattiness is a typical characteristic of the breed. I know mine talks *constantly*. Anyway, my point there is that not all cats are particularly vocal. I grew up with some cats that I never heard make a sound other than purring when petted.

Yeah, I have no idea how old he was when she got him, because he was adopted. I'm sure he was already around a year old. He was definitely the chattiest cat I've ever seen. You know, I'd probably find it funny normally, but because I had to live with him, I hated it so much

That's actually exactly what I was getting at.

Anyways, it is a cute kitten, but... Dogs > Cats.

Although I am probably the only person, I have yet to see a dog that inspires as much of a love factor in me as a hairless cat:

This is very true.

As already mentioned, it depends on the individual animal, whether they are likeable or not! I would adopt a full grown cat, but I want to KNOW his personality first. Too skittish, too vocal, too sheddy.. no thanks. I satisfy my desire for kitties and all manner of adorable animals with cuteoverload.com... without the responsibility of a pet. That said, one day I WILL get a cat exactly like Maru:

Maru cat is metal!

I've been eyeballing scottish fold breeders in the region. As soon as one of my carpet goat cats dies there will be a Maru cat in my casa.

[Powermetalbass]

Kitten to Cat is like Adorable Baby to Teenager! Sure you still love them, but they're such arrogant bastards now!

having raised a few cats now (two ex-gf's and an ex-roommate, all absentee parents ) i find that cats are the worst between 6 months and 2 years. disobedient, ungrateful little shits. 75% of the attitude can be managed through play though, and interaction at that stage helps shape their personality later on.
little buggers are like kids... cute in small doses if you don't have to discipline them or deal with their shit/piss/puke.

Cats are damn cute, but I don't know if I would ever own one. I've pleasantly known more cats of the non-evil variety, but I'm still more of a dog person.

When I was still in school, me and a good friend used to stay over at each other's houses all the time, playing video games into the wee hours. He had two cats. I kid you not, these cats were in heat literally every time I was over. This went on for five years. Having to listen to their horny vocalizations all night was not particularly pleasant.
