Go For A Cat Instead
I know many people that are considering getting a pet for themselves or
for family members of friends. When I ask most of them what kinds of
pets they are considering they sort of laugh and say that "they are
only considering dogs, of course." I'm not sure what causes this
particular response in people, but I have done my best in the past few
months and begun speaking up for getting a cat instead of a dog.
It's
true that I am a little biased about the benefits of owning a cat over
a dog. After all, I have been a cat owner since I was three years old
and I am now a cat breeder by profession. I will attempt to keep all of
my bias away as I share with you a few great reasons why you should at
least consider choosing a cat rather than a dog for your next pet.
First,
a cat is the perfect pet for many people because they require much less
work than dogs. Think about it. Getting a dog requires someone to be
home nearly all the time at least for the first few months of owning
the dog. With a cat there is no need to potty train them, take them
outside, walk them or spend endless hours playing with them. A cat is
definitely a more independent animal and the perfect pet for more
independent people. Who really wants to be tied down with an animal
that takes so much time and attention?
Another great reason
for getting a cat rather than a dog is to have a quiet and constant
companion. One of my least favorite things about dogs is how loud and
noisy they can be. Of course, a cat will occasionally meow, but nowhere
near as much noise as a dog. Cats pretty much keep quiet and are the
perfect companion for most people. They are also great because they
usually love to be around people, so if you are looking for a pet that
will be quiet but will be near you, then the cat is the perfect choice
for you.
Cats in general take a lot less work than dogs. Talk
to most cat owners and you will hear great stories of people who love
owning a cat. So if you are thinking of getting a pet, take the time to
check out the benefits of getting a cat. See how great having a cat can
be with your stressful and busy
lifestyle.
