Ezer, hahahaha, I've tried asking my self the same thing many times over. Are cats really proud?

But I suppose that there's a form of mysticism surrounding cats. Their Feline behavior of being elegant, graceful, clean and choosy does actually bring forth the impression that they are proud pets.

Even in Egyptian belief, Bast or Bastet was a Goddess in the form of a cat whereas Anubis was that of a dog. Bast was ordained with a feminine suffix thus leading to be called Bastet. Even then, She was depicted as this graceful and elegant animal.

Yes, there are many times which I have seen firsthand my friends' persian kitties "ignoring" our calls but sometimes @ PAWS you can sense that these furry felines just crave for attention.

Cats are a little more cautious of their surroundings I suppose therefore making them more wary of humans. Thus in ANOTHER way as well leading to the misconception that they are very proud. Dogs on the other hand, just basically give that "try first... learn later" kinda attitude which we all would like to believe as friendly.
