5 Reasons Why a Cat is Better Than a Kid

We’re here to present our case to you as to why a cat is a million times better than adopting a goat. For one, you can litter box train a cat… but seriously, having a cat is way better than having a human child too! And here is why!

1. That face! If you already have your own cat then you know how they love to look adoringly at you several times a day, and this doesn’t even include when they want to be fed. Cats love their main human and they show it by purring and narrowing their eyes.

2. They’re clean & tidy. Cats are much cleaner than children. They’ll wash their paws and face after a good meal. They’ll clean their butts and be sure that you are watching when they do it. They cover their stinkies in the litter box when they’re done. This is definitely way more than any human baby could ever do.

3. Their toys are cheaper. Not only don’t you have to buy cute little outfits for your cat (well, you could but have fun getting it on them!), but also cat toys are more affordable than children’s toys. And once your cat is a teenager they won’t demand that you buy them a computer, tablet, and cell phone! (Though they do have laptop scratchy posts for cats.)

4. They quickly forgive. If you’re late filling up that food dish by even five minutes then your cat is sure to let you know. But they also have short memory spans and will quickly forget. After they have their meal, they won’t hold a grudge. They’ll cuddle up to you while you watch TV or do your remote work on your computer.

5. Your stuff won’t go missing. You won’t find a lot of your possessions going missing if you have a cat, but if you do, you can easily check under the bed or couch to find what is missing, without fears that your items were taken to the local park or school. (Well, unless your cat is indoors-outdoors!)

Cats are still a lot of work, but most cat owners say that it’s far more rewarding caring for a cat than a fellow human. Cats make great companions for when you’re feeling lonely, but don’t want to make a huge lifetime commitment to another human being!
