Sorry I"m late to the party. . .
But my opinion of cats has changed ever since I learned they can poop coffee.

I know there's lots of people who love cats and dogs, but this is ridiculous ! It seems like every third or fourth avatar here is a feline photo. I've seen cat avatars on forums before, but not in these numbers ! It's like this whole forum has gone to the cats. What the miau is with all these pussy-lovers ?
Do you think there's a correlation between the love for reading and the love for furry long-whiskered felines ?

P.S.
I just love my new [whatever it is] - on mouseover it now says "Enkidu of Abydos could sell banana peel slippers to a Deveel." Not just because it's a nice joke but because I'm so glad to see someone else has read Asprin's Myth series... Totally underappreciated IMHO.
My mighty avatar is not a dog. Nor is it a cat.

Getting back to the original question.

I think many readers have cat avatars because a cat will sit on you, quietly asleep, for a long time. Thereby enabling you to read peacefully. Sometimes they even let you rest your reader on them.

However a dog will want you to go for a long walk and throw balls. This can be dangerous to do while engrossed in your reader.

Therefore a cat makes an ideal pet for company when reading.
