Many people today own a pet or some sort, but the most popular are dogs and cats. Everyone has their own particular reason for their choice of pet, but I prefer cats over dogs because cats are more independent than dogs. Firstly you never have to worry about trying to fit in 2 or 3 walks every day because with cats you don’t need that. For example, if you were tired or sick and you had a dog, you would still need to walk him/her.
Or, it would cost money to hire someone else to walk your dog and it is a headache to arrange. Lastly you could put down enough food and drink and the cat would eat and drink when hungry or thirsty. A dog, on the other hand wouldn’t be able to regulate how much it should eat. Also a cat can go to the bathroom in a litter box, but a dog would need someone to take it out on a walk in order to go to the bathroom.
Secondly cats are much quieter pets than dogs especially during times when you want to sleep or relax.
For example; let’s say an individual has a tiring day of work and wants to relax. They finally get comfortable when their dog hears a sound outside or sees another dog and starts barking uncontrollably whereas cats keep any moods they have to themselves. Cats do not feel a need to share their opinions with everyone around them.
They keep quiet and do not bother with meowing at strangers. When friends arrive at your home, a dog goes into frenzy, barking, leaping and pawing at the newcomer. While the dog does everything possible for approval, from racing around the room to bouncing like a basketball, the cat is usually nowhere to be seen. Cats prefer to observe new arrivals from afar. Maybe, if the cat is in the mood, she'll come out to acknowledge this new person with a tail twitch, a cautious once-over.
But that's it. No effusive greetings, no jumping on laps or humping of legs. Lastly, cats make noise only when they need to not because they can. For example, if a dog is hungry he will not let you know he simply expects the owner to remember and if the owner accidentally forgets the dog will go hungry. Cats, on the other hand, will meow and purr constantly until their owner finally has enough and remembers that they have to feed their cat. Because cats are quieter than dogs, except when they need to be, they make the best pets. Thirdly, cats take much better care of themselves compared to dogs. Cats do not require baths due to the fact that cats clean themselves. For example, let’s say an individual has a busy day and when they wake up they notice their dog smells horrific however they do not have time to bathe the dog so the individual is stuck with a smelly dog all day running around their house. Cats will simply lick themselves clean and do not do much to get smelly.
According to Animal Planet, wild or domestic cats spend up to one-third of their time self-grooming. Secondly, cats do not need to be let outside to go to the bathroom; they have the common courtesy to do their business in the litter box, instead of all over your house and yard. Just one of the many reasons cats rule and dogs drool - literally. Also cats take much better care or their toys. You can give a cat a new toy to play with and it’ll keep it in its basket and it will last for a couple of years but a dog can demolish a new toy in five minutes flat. In conclusion, cats are much better pets than dogs. They can clean themselves: you don’t have to spend time walking them and finally, you can go away for the weekend and a cat can look after itself. They don’t require as much attention as others which is why they are much better pets.
