I like horses because of their regal and generally chilled out nature, and that they bear our burden with narry a whimper.
I like dogs because of their loyal and friendly nature.
I like crocodiles because their really great at keeping the junk mailers away from my letterbox.
I like cats because....... well, I'm still trying to figure that out. It beggars belief to me that something so small is able to hold something much bigger, such as a dog or a human, to ransom. Just go check out the YouTube videos on cats scaring dogs. One of the funniest I saw was, this guy panned his camera over to a hummock style bed where three or four huge dogs were crammed on it, spilling over the sides. He said in the video, "the reason for this, is this" and panned across to a much larger but similar bed with a single cat stretched out on it.
