There is a very big argument that has plagued man since the dawn of time. Or since we decided to domesticate wild animals. It polarises people. There is no in between. We either like dogs or we love cats and whenever you see the two species together in cinema, there is always a fight going on.
For me, on a personal note, I adore cats. Every little purr and every unfortunate clawing makes me brim with glee and go all mushy over the creatures. People get the wrong impression that cats are too cold. True, if they aren't used to you or rightly judge you as the imbecile of a human that you really are -you'll get a bunch of cold-hearted stares that ice your soul. However, if you pet a cat right, love it and adore it, it will love you back. Even if it is at the most inappropriate times. Because if it's going to love you, it'll love you when it wants to.
On the other hand, my colleague Jo prefers dogs. And she is wrong on so many levels. Dogs are a little bit dumb and smelly who try a little too hard to be one with the humans. That seems cruel because I do love dogs but cats, well cats are simply the best. To celebrate the release of The Voices today, and the maniacal Scottish ginger cat Mr. Whiskers, I’m looking at the Best Movie Cats.
(Note: I’ve kept it to house cats because going through wild cats and their awesomeness would be just too long an article)
