What? They phone in cat scratch fever?
Of course one never really hears about a cat doing much anything worthwhile.
Point is I have no illusions about dogs. It’s dogs who rip people (and other things) to shreds. As well as do useful things and just generally can be great.
Cats are actually more neutral. Many are great pets, but yes, they don’t do much for us and also don’t do much against us either.
