Yes, he did like cats very much. The first story of his I ever read was The Cats of Ulthar and it made me go hunt up the rest of them. It was very much like discovering a treasure trove.
I'd agree that getting limbs yanked off is not awfully desirable but you must admit that there is something darkly seductive about a god who slumbers in a titanic city under the ocean and comes to people in dreams. I'd like to see R'lyeh with it's walls set at angles that are not quite right.
