For long a cat has been underrated, after all a dog is man’s best friend. Many think of cats as the stench of urine on the doorpost and the screaming creatures that disturb their beauty sleep. Cats are more than that and through they can make equally good pets as dogs and maybe even better pets than dogs. They don’t need a lot of grooming, you don’t have to walk them, they are affordable and affectionate just like dogs.
Independence
Cats don’t need your constant attention. All you have to do is leave some food and clean water for them and they’ll be fine. And when they’re out of food there are plenty of mice and birds to go around and they’ll just catch their own dinner.
You don’t need the walk them, whenever they feel they need to go they’ll use the litter box.
Intelligence
Cats are very clever it takes them just a few weeks before they know your daily routine. When they know the time at which you wake up they’ll be there to great you. They know the exact time you get home and will be sitting in front of the window or wait by the front door to welcome you back. They are also quite clever in figuring out when its dinner time and will be kind enough to remind you on it.
Cleanliness
Cats don’t need grooming they groom themselves. Of course they also require an occasional grooming every now and then when they are changing their winter coat for their summer coat. This is only to ease them a little bit, since this is quite an itchy procedure and they’ll appreciate the help. Cats are clean by nature and that makes them great roommates.
Affectionate
although some consider them as the most selfish animals in the animal kingdom, cats are really loving and affectionate creatures. Cats who’ve had a difficult life can be distant at first. When you respect their boundaries and give them lots of love their bad habits will make place for the affectionate cat that is the most loyal companion in your life.
Companionship
When it comes to companionship cats are very similar to dogs. They purr when they are near you and are excited to see you when you come home from a long day of work.
Affordable
Cats require little medical care and their food is relatively cheap depending on the type and brand you buy. Cats don’t really require a bed since they sleep just about anywhere. Don’t go overboard on buying toys for your cat, they’ll usually ignore them. If you decide to buy a toy for your cat a small mouse that has small elements on the inside that make noise when touched is usually enough. Another toy they usually go for is something that has feathers on it, they try to lick and eat them while they play with it.
Trainable
Just like dogs you can train your cats to do certain things, its not quite as easy as training a dog but its possible. Form a young age you teach them how to use the litter box and when its time for dinner. Like I already mentioned above they learn to recognize patterns and are on the dot when its time for dinner.
Fun
Yes cats are fun, great fun each cat has its own personality. They’ll often make you laugh with they cute little faces and the stunts they pull. When they play with their toys they make the funniest moves and bomb into every object in the room.
They are adorable when they are curled up asleep.
So you see that cats have a lot of benefits and one of the biggest benefits they have is that just like dogs they like to sleep on your lap, but unlike a dog they actually fit on your lap, which makes that a whole lot easier.
Why cats are the perfect pets.
