However, king David taught us that all living things can bring benefit to humans, even a spider which he thought worthless, eventually saved his life.
In appreciation to the dogs for not barking when we left Egypt, we are to give unkosher meat to dogs. We thank Hashem every morning for giving wisdom to the rooster to differentiate between day and night (which was the only “alarm” before we had alarm clocks).
My point is that although for various reasons most of us here don’t have pets such as cats and dogs, appreciation is very much a Jewish trait. You should always thank G-d for all the good he sends your way, which presumably includes your cat. Just don’t obsess over her and imbue her with human characteristics — only humans were created “in the image of G-d”.
