There is a good reason why cats are one of the most popular pets around the world. They are wonderful companions, they are funny, sweet, and how could you not like them? If you're yet to be convinced, read our 13 reasons why you should get a cat.
1. They are hilarious
Need proof? Just search for funny cat videos online.
2. They show you that anything can be a bed
A sink, an impossibly small box, a keyboard, even a sheet of paper on the floor. A cat knows no limits to what can be used as a bed.
3. They keep you with both feet on the ground
A mocking look from your cat is enough to remind you that you are not as great as you think.
4. They are good company
They just want to hang out, relax, eat a little, play a little – the perfect companion.
5. They are loving
Of course it's on their terms, and only when they want it, but when they decide it's time to cuddle, you're rewarded with warmth and affection that will melt your heart.
6. They bring you presents
A half-chewed mouse may not be at the top of your gift list, but you can at least appreciate the sentiment.
7. They don't mind if you give them silly names
Not really, so start fantasizing.
8. They are cute
Just observing their day-to-day routine is enough to fill your heart.
9. Their spinning is beneficial to humans
Every cat owner knows that the sound of purring often helps them melt away their feelings of stress and anxiety.
10. They have good bathroom habits
In general, cats keep themselves very clean.
11. They are good alarm clocks
Every morning you think you need to sleep, your cat will let you know that this is wrong, and that it is, in fact, time to get up and make their breakfast.
12. They do not require much care
Cats are very independent and self-sufficient, and therefore require much less work than, for example, dogs.
13. They keep unwanted rodents away
Sometimes the presence of a cat is enough to scare rodents away, but for those who don't get the hint, your cat will quickly show them who's boss.
