Cats are better than dogs because cats are so much easier to have as a pet. I love dogs too, but I love cats more. Cats require less maintenance than dogs; cats don’t have to go outside for a walk, already know how to use a litter box to go to the bathroom and don’t need any formal training. Dogs, on the other hand, do need a walk, go outside for the bathroom and need formal training.
Cats make so much less noise than dogs; the only time they are loud is when they meow. Cats are also great pets for apartments because they are better suited than dogs. Compared to dogs, cats require less space and take advantage of the space. The cost of taking care of a cat is $65-$125 a month compared to the cost of taking care of dogs, which is between $145 and $505 a month.
Another one of the reasons why I think cats are the best pet is that they are very independent. Unlike dogs, which require a lot of attention, cats are very enjoyable by themselves. Cats sleep a lot throughout the day; in fact, they sleep up to 15 hours a day. Cats enjoy being with humans and don’t demand attention like dogs do.
Cats have a very long lifespan; on average, cats live up to 12 years but can live to their high teens or early twenties. Cats are also good for your health; they have a calming effect on their owners. Another reason is that cats play a part in lowering your risk of a heart attack and lower your blood pressure. A study was found that cat owners are 30% less likely to die of a heart attack or a stroke than non-cat owners.
If you hate unwanted pests (mice, bugs, etc.), so do cats. They keep unwanted pests out of your house and make sure that your home stays clear of any bugs/mice. In conclusion, cats are better because they are less hyped, less work and more rewarding than dogs.
