I'd say cats are on equal footing with dogs when it comes to needy. Cats just may not exhibit it as much
Dogs literally cannot shit without human intervention
I have a doggie door and both my dogs (Red Heeler and Border-collie/rottie mix) just waltz outside whenever they need to relieve themselves.
