Cats don't require walking and, if they have access to a garden, are totally self-cleaning (just ask them to use the neighbor's garden for a toilet rather than your own).

They Have Personality

Each cat has its funny little habits that make you laugh. Every one is an individual with its own personality.

Cats sleep a lot. Leave some food out and hopefully you won't be disturbed at a ridiculously early hour by kitty demanding to be fed.

Cats don't snore or hog the blankets and pillows. Unlike men.

Cosy!

On cold winter nights they curl up at your feet and keep them warm. So much more stylish than a hot water bottle.

When your heart has been broken, your cat is there to console you, and they won't judge you for moping in your track pants for a week.

Your cat will always be there for you, unless you try to fob them off with cheap supermarket food, in which case they'll be off to try their starving waif act on the nearest soft-hearted senior citizen.

Having a purring cat on your lap has to be one of the greatest stress-busters. Much better than the other kind of laptop!

Cats are highly sensitive creatures and know when you need them. One of the few times one of my cats let me pick her up was when I was going into hospital for an operation, and was very scared.

Well, aren't they? Cats are gorgeous animals, and are all different, just like people. Fuzzy orange tabbies, sleek black cats, and everything in between!

I'm sure there are so many more reasons to love cats, but these are the first ones that come to mind. They really are a girl's best friend! Are you a cat lover? Please tell me why!

I love dogs!!!! I have a little terrier and he is sooo gorgeous. He is soooo funny and kinda dumb in a cute way! :)

I don't dislike dogs, but lets face it, they love anyone with a treat, where as cats really make you work for their affection...this might sound like a negative thing, but it just means that when you do have that special bond, you appreciate it all the more :)

This is by far my favorite post! My mom, best friend and I are obsessed with cats. I like dogs, but I love cats. There is just something about their "attitude." I definitely sent this link to a few cat lovers!!

I love cats. I love the way the pur, and how soft their fur is. But sadly. I can not get one because too many people in my family are allergic. I cried. I really want one. Why must I have the family that is allergic to cat? I even made a book of what the expenses of the cat would be, wrote down some possible name, and now am really upset :( aww. Cats rule :)! -Angelina.
