Animal compassion towards their people question. Compared to dogs I'm convinced cats really don't give a frak or at the very least, meh.

My dog would probably follow me into a burning house. She stays with me EVERYWHERE at home, even the john, and out doors. This morning was a bad one for me because of my back, to the point it was well, there were serious tears. I skulked off into the spare bedroom where it was dark and alone about 4:30 and she followed me in there, hopped up on the futon and doted over me, licked me some, put one of her paws on my leg and watched me suffer. The head tilting and eye contact was noticeable even in the low light in there. One of our cats found his way in there and bumped his head against me wanting to get his ears scratched. Really? That’s what you want cat? Right now? I think cats are all about what you can do for them or else they got no time for us. Any one notice this, if you have both at home?
Is there a DSM for animal behavior?
Sorry about the dragged out detail.
