Having observed humans for some time now, I would say that their NEEDS are limited but their WANTS are unlimited. The problem is that they tend to get the two mixed up.
Smart advertisers can turn a want into a need quite easily - look at how teenagers 'need' sportshoes.
Fortunately, cats don't fall for such tricks.
