That’s a social trait, not an intelligence one. The fact you view kindness and loyalty as stupidity speaks volumes about your character…

Ever heard the term loyal to a fault? There’s loyal and there’s stupid.

Dogs have been bred for blind obedience and unconditional love towards humans. This is one of the reasons I prefer cats. A cat likes you (or not) by choice. A dog literally cannot do anything else, it’s bred into its genes. Even then, you have to keep a dog on a leash or train it not to wander off. My cat can go out whenever she wants and she comes back every time, zero training required.
A cat is a companion, a dog is a slave.

Yep, I feel exactly the same way.
When a cat wants to spend time with you they actually want to.
You can smack a dog and do whatever you want to it and they’ll still come running to spend time with you. It’s not loyal, it’s just stupid.
