Why I Chose To Keep Cats As Pets.

in Nerday4 years ago (edited)

I've been around pet owners my whole life. The most I've been involved with are those who kept dogs, monkeys, rabbits and cats. My mother preferred cats for some reasons like their hunting skills especially at times when rodents infested my neighborhood. It was only a matter of time before the rodents realized they had been to the wrong neighborhood. I think she rubbed a bit of her preference on me as I stayed with with her and her kittens.

Cats are one of the most famous pets here and I've always loved them more for their neatness and active nature. Although, they sleep alot in the day time but they're one of the most physically active animals I've ever seen. They also not so expensive to keep, I mean besides their natural hunger for meat and milk, I think they don't cost a fortune to keep. Finally, I decided to keep cats as pets because they don't hurt people much like dogs if threatened or intimidated.

I won't lie I haven't had thoughts of keeping a dog, but they would require a whole lotta care and more intense supervision . For those who don't know yet, I have two pets, both ferals, Molly And Tyga. They'll be 8 months in a few days time and are my companions here. Tyga is the male , really playful and easy to get along with. While Molly on the other hand is quite troublesome and she's always very shy when strangers visit. I remember how she didn't like coming in the house when my sister came to visit. It was really awkward.

I admired cats so much more when I saw how neat they could be. I mean how they cleaned themselves up when they defecate and mostly how they always find a place to poo and at the same time cover it up. It's one of the most beautiful things I've seen an animal do without being taught. I regard it as one of the wonders of nature and it's really pleasing not having to monitor how they defecate since they were a month old (last time I they made a mess with their poo).

Even though they sometimes play toooo much, I really don't think I'd prefer another pet right now to them. Thanks for reading and enjoy the rest of your day.

I must say, I've never been a big fan of cats untill I met my gf, and became good friends with her cat. I always saw cats as being second class citizens compared to that of dogs, which is funny considering, we refer to her more as being a dog than a cat simply because she follows us everywhere we go, and is always looking for company.
Cats are definitely very unique.

Yea, I sometimes feel my cats are dogs because o their behavior. We walk around the neighborhood together without chains, I know what almost every " meow" stand for and they hang around and play with me alot. They're very unique animals and I love them alot.

Amazing Cat's

Thank you

Cats are beautiful to look at. Cats are a very different animal. They are not like all other animals, so they are good to me.

I can relate
Cats are lovely, when i had my cat, her behavior was amazing e. g leaving her to space to sleep with me on my bed, trying to get my attention just to play and lots more. Just had to let it go due to geographical change

Yea, mine still come around to sleep by my side and sometimes lick any dirt or sweat off me. It's probably their way of telling me its time to take a bath😄

Cats fascinate me, I’ve never thought about owning one, but I don’t think I will object to it, I’m a dog person, grew up with dogs all my life, if I can manage to get them to co exist then I might consider it. I’m also a rabbit person

I love rabbits and dogs too and I hope to have them when I'm very settled . I also hope that then, the cat and dog could coexist in the thevsame space. It's difficult but it's very possible especially if they were both raised together. Well, expect alot of drama still cos my pets are both cats and still get playful and get into fights.

They are so cute! The first picture is absolutely beautiful, those eyes😍
The cutest thing about cats is how they purr.It is so relaxing to hear that sound

Love cats! Awesome photos
