You have to take the time to build a relationship with a cat, it won't simply automatically like you the way a dog does. If you do this, a cat will almost always respond to you.
Will a cat fetch your slippers? No. But you won't have to walk it five times a day, either.

To be fair, I've never really had a cat that I have tried to like/get attached to. Every cat I've been around jumps in my lap and drives me crazy, or digs it's razor sharp (and probably filthy) claws into my leg, tries to trip me by running in between my legs.
I know people love and are attached to cats, didn't mean to be insensitive.
My dog loves to go drink a huge amount of water, then put his dripping wet jowls in my lap to be petted, he also sheds quite a bit. He's not perfect. If he wants attention and I'm busy, I can tell him to go lay down and he will. Cat's don't seem to listen like that.
