Cats can be very attentive and loving, despite what many people think. They are also trainable despite the rumor they aren't. My cat knows the rules of the house and follows them and knows some tricks.

He is a great companion, and I would certainly advise a cat as a good pet. They are much more quiet than a dog, and easy to take care of. My cat loves attention, to be brushed and combed, and likes to play with toys even though he is about 10 years old. He has really enriched my life!
