They are
Self-Cleaning – Cats are very clean animals which do not need regular
bathing. If they go out and get all
muddy (which is unlikely) they will deal with it themselves. However, long haired cats do need daily
grooming and even short haired cats enjoy being groomed – it’s a lovely bonding
experience.
They are True Family Pets
– Quite often people say that cats are aloof and unfriendly but that is not
true! Cats can be very happy in families
with other cats, dogs and children. Some
cats respond really well to training too.... but not my cat Melly. Check out this video...
Unlike many pets, they are Not High Maintenance
– Most cats are very low maintenance… they can be left for a few hours a day
and they don’t need walking BUT that is not to say you don’t need to devote
time to your fur baby. They need fuss
and attention (mostly on their terms) and, if they are an indoor cat, they do
like a very, very clean litter box!
They are Calming
– The sound of a purring cat is literally second to none when it comes to
relaxing me. A pussycat, purring on my
lap can send me to sleep in a matter of minutes! Also, a recent study by University of
Minnesota say that owning a cat can reduce your risk of a heart attack by
nearly a third!
They are Playful
– Cats are super playful, from kittens to the geriatrics of the cat world….cats
just love to play. Cats will amuse
themselves for a long time with random objects such as string, balls, laser
pointers or pretty much anything and watching a cat play can be very
entertaining. Getting involved and playing
with a cat can be very fun and relaxing for you, as well as stimulating for the
cat and is a brilliant way for you to bond.
So all of you feline fans, what have I missed?
