#LoveYourPetDay: Top 5 reasons why we love our cats

Top 5 reasons why we love our cats


This #LoveYourPetDay, we’re talking about why our feline friends are so adorable and why we love them so much. Any cat lovers will know how strong the bond can be between your furry friend and yourself.

Mark Twain even once wrote “I simply cannot resist a cat. They are the cleanest, cunningest and most intelligent things I have ever known.” But why do we love our cats so very much?

Top 5 reasons why we love our cats

1. They’re unpredictable

We can never quite know what our cat will get up to next. One minute they crave the outside, and the next they love spending time with us in the comfort of our home. They seem to enjoy having no routine and it really does add excitement to each day… Maybe this is why they need 9 lives? Cat Insurance anyone?

2. It’s hard to gain acceptance

We love our cats and dogs equally, but gaining a cat’s acceptance does seem to be much harder than a dogs. It feels very meaningful when our cat rubs against our legs or wants to settle down for a cuddle. Even if our cat ducks away, but doesn’t run off, we consider this a victory.

3. They’re impressive athletes

One minute they’re on the floor, the next they’re on top of our wardrobes. Impressive. They seem to love to show off their athleticism in any way they can, whether it’s from their climbing skills, or their ability to run remarkably quickly.

4. They really are great at cuddling

The physicality of a cat is incredible; they’re able to curl round us and relax upon our laps or in our arms making us relax in turn. They seem to constantly want to sit on our lap, even at inconvenient times like when we’re on the toilet.

5. They only meow to us

Cats do not meow to other cats, only to us humans which is an amazing trait. Our cat is definitely talking to us and wants us to know that it loves us when it purrs loudly (or so we like to think!)

Got another reason to add to the list about why your cat is the purrrfect pet? Let us know on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter.
