Cats make great pets!

Cats get the reputation of being solitary and aloof creatures. This is far from the truth, cats can enjoy interacting with their owners. Cats have a way to discern whether their owner is sad or depressed. A cat's presence and their interactions can reduce bad moods or help us cheer up during rough times.

On top of that, cats are very easy to care for and maintain: 

• Housebreaking takes about a minute. Just tuck a litter box with clean litter in an out-of-the-way spot in your home, and voila! Fluffy is fully housetrained!
  
• You don’t have to give up being a clean freak. No need to worry about a dirty, smelly kitty rolling around on your carpet or your furniture. Healthy felines keep themselves clean from head to toe.
  
• No guilt trips. Unlike your dog, who will drop his tail and look at you with a forlorn expression when you can’t stop what you’re doing to play with him, if you need to put your kitty off for a bit, she’ll wander away, not seeming to mind. You’ll find her later stretched out contentedly in her favorite napping spot.
  
• You can stay warm, even in the dead of winter. As most folks owned by cats can attest, there’s nothing that compares to the coziness of a kitty curled up in your lap
