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.

8. They help you relax.

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

9. They're sensitive and responsive.

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.

10. They are BEAUTIFUL.

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!
