- Cats are entertaining to watch and fun to play with
- Cats provide companionship
- Cats will cuddle up with you on a cold evening
- Cats are independent and can be left alone while you’re at work
- A cat’s mere presence will ward off unwanted mice and pests
- Cats are comfortable in small spaces like apartments
- Cats are very clean; they bathe themselves!
- A cat’s purr is instantly calming and relaxing
- Cats are affectionate
- Just 15 minutes a day of playing with you will satisfy a cat

- Indoor cats and spayed/neutered cats live long lives, providing up to 20 years of companionship
