Some cats are dicks, but not all of them. I've had my current feline since she was 8 weeks old and had the luxury of being there the day she was born and several days leading up to when I could take her home. She's been a total sweetheart. Very big on cuddling and laying in laps, doesn't try to steal food or beg for it obnoxiously, doesn't knock stuff off tables for fun, doesn't bite or scratch or hiss unless you're a dog or you're playing too rough with her. Her only real offense is she'll sometimes get late night zoomies and clomp around the house loudly while making "bbrrrrrrr" noises.
