CATS
Aren't they the best?
10 reasons why cats are awesome:
Number 10: Cats Are Funny
Cats are hilarious. Really. Just ask the internet. They do the cutest,
sweetest things you can imagine, and they can really lower their humans'
stress levels. Nothing beats coming home after a challenging day and
watching your cat romp around after his toys, acting like a clown.Number 9: Cats Are Independent
Most cats don't require extreme amounts of energy or time devoted to them
each day. You will need to spend 20 minutes or so interactively playing
with your kitty, and the litter box will need to be kept clean daily, of
course. Still, most cats are quite happy to amuse themselves the rest of
the time, acting as your steadfast companion while you get other things
done.
Number 8: Cats Help Keep Your House Bug and Rodent Free
Cats are hunters, and they'll help keep the bugs and mice at bay in your
home. For people who are squeamish about taking care of such invaders
themselves, that can be a real boon.
Number 7: Cats Don't Roll in Yucky Stuff and Get Stinky
Cats like to stay clean, they bathe themselves often, and they don't have
that habit that some other pets (who shall remain nameless) have of
rolling in rotting stuff. You can't deny it: a sweet smelling pet is a
good thing.
Number 6: Cats Help You Have a Healthy Heart
It's been shown that people with cats are less likely to die of a heart
attack (Adnan I Qureshi, 2009). Petting and interacting with a cat lowers
people's blood pressure, too.Number 5: Cats Are Quiet
While some might keep you up at night meowing if their food bowl is empty,
cats are usually quite quiet. They're great for apartments and other
situations where a noisier pet might cause a problem.Number 4: Cats Are Easy to Care For
While some cats can be taught to walk on a leash and enjoy outdoor time
with their human, they don't need to be taken out multiple times a day to
eliminate. They can be exercised inside by playing with interactive toys,
and a little brushing and routine claw clipping is all the grooming most
of them require.
Number 3: You Don't Have to Take a Cat Outside to Potty in Bad Weather
Speaking of not having to take your cat outside to eliminate, we think
that deserves another mention. It's really nice not to have to get bundled
up to take your kitty outside several times a day when it's cold, rainy,
or otherwise inclement weather.
Number 2: Cats Don't Jump on Your Friends When They Come Over
If a cat likes interacting with people, he might come around when you have
company. There might be some leg-rubbing, or he may try to jump on your
guest's lap. But cats are much less likely to jump on or beg from people,
and most of them will actually wander off to be by themselves when
strangers come to visit.Number 1: Cats Purr
We think the most awesome thing about cats is their purr. It's such an
endearing quality, and it can help people feel relaxed and peaceful, too.
It might even help us heal when we're sick or injured.
