There are many reasons why I and so many others love the feline species.
Here are just some of those reasons:
They exude cuteness. They make us smile and warm our hearts with their playful antics. They play till they're exhausted then jump into our laps to win our hearts with their bright eyes and soothing purrs.
They jump into our laps to warm us on cold winter nights. They entertain us to make us laugh and smile when we're down. They are chicken soup for our bodies, minds, and spirits.
Dare I say it? Cats are kinda like dogs. No, they don't bark or act goofy when you drive up or walk in the door. But they will greet you at the door with purrs and shin rubs. They love it when you come home, they missed you. After all, there's only so much perching and window sunning that a cat can do in a day!
Cats are not just aloof, furniture scratching, hairballs as some folks might think. They are beautiful, purring, intelligent pets that love and entertain us every day. Even the biggest cynics can't resist smiling when a playful cat chases a laser toy or frolics in catnip.
We love our cats and, unlike dogs, cats are low maintenance. They don't require a lot of space and they are cheap to feed. We can leave them alone at home all day and they don't panic or get lonely. They are great company for themselves and cats don't have to go outside to run and potty like dogs.
