Brahim, it's really quite simple, dogs are domesticated pack animals, it has been hardwired into their brains by millions of years of evolution to be loyal to their pack and to seek to please their alpha. That basis was then tacken by humans and over thousands of years of selective breading they were made to view humans as their alphas and the instinct for loyalty and the need to make their alpha happy was exagerated. There is a reason why dogs were the first animals to be domesticated. It was easy.

Cats on the other hand originate from animals who live a solitary life it is not in their instinct to be emotionally dependent on another creature and often when they show affection it is not to give affection to something else but get something.

For instance, both dogs and cats will often be waiting at the door for their owners arrival. However they do so for different reasons. Most pet owners feed their pets as soon as they get home from school/work. The cat is waiting for food. If food is already available they will just as often ignore their owners arrival. Dogs will be excited for their owners return no mattet the circumstances.

Studies have been done on how cats form emotional bonds in comparison to humans and dogs, I would suggest you look them up. They are both educational and rather interesting.
