1. They are independent
Cats are the perfect pets for working couples, people living in apartments or city dwellers. If you provide them with a litter box, they will never poop outside it. They can even bathe on their own. Sometimes, they can help you in household works.
2. Great entertainers
Cats are a great source of entertainment. They play with you; perform random dance steps and various hilarious things on a regular basis. They are just extremely funny. They are even capable of entertaining themselves with boxes, toys etc.
3. They are low maintenance
Cats are very low maintenance unlike other pet animals. They do not need multiple walks a day. They will not even complain if you leave them alone for a day or two provided they have access to food, water and a litter box. But make sure to speak to your vet beforehand.
4. They are cuddly
Though cats are really independent, but they do like to be cuddled. They just fit quite nicely in your lap and. They are very warm and fuzzy and just purr-fect for a snuggle.
5. Make great alarm clocks
Cats are even better than your alarm clocks. We will tell you why. Can your alarm clock purr or just snuggle up to you on a cold morning? We highly doubt that. Cats wake you about five minutes before your alarm goes off. Sometimes, even the alarm clock fails but your cat will never fail to wake you up.
6. Perfect couch potato companions
They are just the perfect couch potato companions. They will never make you feel guilty when you are just lazing around on the couch, binge-watching some television show with a tub of ice-cream. You can just tell the haters that you are spending some quality time with your cat.
7. Ideal pets for apartments
Many apartments don’t allow pets except cats as they are apartment friendly. They are very quiet and do not wake the neighbors when someone rings the bell.
8. Good for your health
Cats are really beneficial for your health. They have a calming effect. They reduce the risk of heart diseases, lowers blood pressure, protect the kids from allergies like ragweed, dust mites, grass etc. Petting a cat will keep you and your family away from diseases.
9. They live for a long time
One of the most heartbreaking things in life is losing a pet. Their average lifespan is about 10-12 years and knowing that your pet will be around you for a long time is very comforting.
10. Spends 2/3 sleeping
They sleep for around 16 to 20 hours, typically. Newborn cats sleep almost 24/7. They are most active during the twilight hours of the dawn and the dusk i.e. they are crepuscular. But when they wake up, they make sure to make the most of their time.
