On scientific level, dogs is a herd animal, which need a leader, cats don't know leaders, they a single hunters, they can create asociations with other cats if it have advantages to obtain food, leader or boss are not in their vocabulary. Human can be a good friend but not more, if not, he's only the tin opener. As said, cats are almost the exact opposite of dogs, even in their body lenguage.

Yes, but these are not hirarchical Groups like in Dogs or Wulfs, these are more interests groups to follow the smartest, which in felines are the females, most the oldest and experienced. But there are not organized structures. "You know where the food is, I'll follow you". Lions are the only cats with structured groups and a leader.
