Perhaps, if they are ungrateful to you, they just have great taste in people.

What have you done for a cat that warrants gratitude?

Fed it. They never say thank you or fetch a stick or bring me my slippers. I could go on. Self self self. Dogs are much better.
Dogs are needy and pathetic.

I can be hurt you know.
(Plus, dogs only do that stuff to get attention, it's not like they care about you.)

Really? You've got an intruder in the house. Which would you rather have standing between you and a murderous nutter, Felix the ever so friendly cat or bloody great big Alsatian?
My cats say thankyou. Not with words, obviously.
Dogs do tend to pine death wehn their owners die.

Half of them would jump up and try to lick the burglar's face and/or sniff his crotch. Bloody soppy idiots.
The other half are chihuahuas and smaller than a cat anyway.

A distraction so enabling you to make a clean getaway unlike the cat who'd be busy meowing in the off chance the local rapist might feed it.
Nah, a cat would be phoning the police. They're clever, see.
My cats wouldn't be happy if an unknown came in without being let in. They sense danger. And snacks. So unless the burgler had nibbles, they'd be in for a whole load of yowling.

They also ask about my day and listen to my problems. They tell me what to wear and eat.
Sometimes they tell me to kill people with a hammer, who ring my door bell.
Then they purr to let me know I did well.
They don't like the door bell.
What do they do if you don't get the right brand of catfood?
I'm SHIT SCARED of the doorbell and the buzzer. There is no reason for someone to come to my house unless bringing me takeaway food.
Hammers at the ready.
