Cats are funny, loving, and help reduce stress levels, but some people might need something more to convince them that cats make wonderful pets. Here's reason #4:
Taking care of a cat is easy, and, as proven yesterday, cats give you lots of love in return. Of course, like any pet, it costs money to have a cat--vet appointments, food, toys, litter box, other essentials... but there are definite things about cat care that are very easy.
First, cats are satisfied with simple toys. If you want to give your cat a fun treat, just fill a sock with catnip, tie off the end, and your cat is occupied with tons of fun! Cats will play with balls of tinfoil and paper, and even play with yarn--but do be careful when cats play with objects like these. Make the toy balls large enough that they cannot be swallowed, and always supervise play with yarn so your cat doesn't eat it.
Cats also don't need to be walked like dogs do, as they get exercise from playing with their toys (or with each other) indoors.
On top of that, cats use the litter box, so they don't have to go outside like dogs. Also, it is highly recommended that cats stay indoors, as it is much safer there for them.
When they are awake, lots of cats are energetic, but cats do sleep a lot, sometimes comically as you saw on Sunday. Relaxing with a sleeping cat against you is not only calming, but a great bonding time.
Make sure to come back tomorrow for the fifth and final reason as to why cats make great pets.
