Cats have a charm that’s impossible to ignore. They’re small and fuzzy, and those paws make anyone want to scream. It’s no wonder that cat lovers fell in love with these whiskered cuties!
If dogs can get their loyal fan club, then why don’t we make one too? Maybe you’re still on the edge thinking, “Hmm, should I get a dog or a cat?” But let’s change that!
Here is a list that will convince you to vote for Team Cat! Cat lovers for the win!
1. They Are Masters Of Independence
For the modern workday lifestyle, a cat is the perfect pet! Cats don’t need constant attention or affection. They’re perfectly happy napping the day away!
No separation anxiety, no fusses over treats! They’re the low-maintenance roommate of your dreams! It all boils down to this: cats fit into busy lifestyles and don’t demand as much time or active attention as dogs do.
2. They Clean Themselves
If you’ve ever seen a dog walk into a house after a good ol’ roll in the mud, you can relate to this on a spiritual level. Cats handle their own grooming! You know what that means! You can kiss that wet dog smell goodbye!
To put it directly, cats save you time and energy. And sometimes, the occasional battle over bathtime too.
3. They’re Quieter
Howl musicals and barking fits that can be heard in outer space (I’m looking at you, dear Huskies) are what dogs are known for. But cats? They’re elegant communicators! They use the so-called “meow-meow codes” to get their point across.
The meow-meow code is truly complex. It consists of purrs, chirps, and soft meowies. Better learn it, because I assure you, you’re getting that cat real quick if you want fewer headaches and happier neighbors.
4. They’re Natural Pest Control
Sometimes, when you aren’t around to point lasers they can chase, cats find their own entertainment – like hunting! Thank their instincts! They’ll be keeping your home free of mice and bugs.
And for them? It’s a great playtime activity! Even indoor cats have fun with their sharp predator vibe! Cheers to no more pest traps or sprays!
5. They Don’t Need Walks
I already somewhat mentioned this, but I’d like to reiterate it. As lovely as they are, dogs need mental and physical stimulation! And for cats? They get mentally stimulated during naptime! Quite the exercise to dream of catnip.
No matter the weather, dogs will demand that you take them out. Rain, snow, blistering heat – they don’t care! Cats prefer to see the outside world too, but from a window! Perfect for introverts!
6. They’re Tiny Ninjas
Still unsure? You think this all sounds a little too tame and boring? Let me change your mind! Cats have a set of unmatched skills that will impress any ninja!
They can leap onto high places. Then, crawl through tight spaces. Then, they magically appear out of nowhere! You’ll be watching a James Bond film every time you spend the day at home! Who needs a TV? A cat’s all you need!
7. They’re Apartment-Friendly
A dog? In this economy? No, thanks! Cats adapt amazingly to small living spaces, and don’t need yards to run around! They’re perfectly happy in a studio apartment, chilling on a couch. That’s why you don’t have to look for a home specific to your pet’s needs! That’s simply a luxury most can’t afford nowadays.
