So what I'm hearing is, we Stockholm syndrome'd dogs into loving us, but cats chose to love us... So who offers the real unconditional love?

I think its more we've enslaved dogs and we hire cats on a freelance basis.

I like thinking about cats as my little contract worker. We have a great relationship, but as soon as I ask him to wear a tie or show up to meetings, I very curtly and loudly am reprimanded and reminded that at the end of the day, he. is. a. contractor. and to go fuck myself

But they're like house elves in that they like being enslaved.

Both can, but dogs are more likely to because of the breeding. I'd say it still qualifies, since most dogs do not automatically like all humans. You'd have to disqualify a child's love that you raised as well, otherwise.
