Internet Poll


A visitor to our site recently suggested that a Why cats make great house pets? page should be added to our site. I thought it was a good idea and started coming up with some reasons to support the question. Then I decided to collect some reasons from visitors to our site. 

So here are some reasons cats make great house pets. Thank you for all your great reasons.

Cats are independent so you never have to worry about leaving them alone. Well,sometimes unless you have cats like I do who whine and cry everytime we leave the house. They are great because they shower us with love and never-ending adoration.

They are loving, clean, do not need to go outside, smart, funny, they have a wide range of emotions and they are very vocal!

John - Folsom, CA

Cats make great house pets because they listen without interrupting, don't complain  about your cooking.  They wait up for you to get home and get up with you in the morning.  They can bathe themselves , don't need to be taken for a walk and keep the mice away.

The way they lay on you while your sleeping.

Really, I think cats are retarded...they show no affection, as most people claim, and they are absolutely not fun to cuddle with. Now, dogs are sweet, sensitive, and, as we know, man's best friend. Have you ever heard anyone say that a cat is man's best friend? I think not...cats suck!

Fido - Normal, IL

Everyone has an opinion, even though this response does not fit the question I posted it anyway. For the record, my cats are my best friends.

The Webmaster

Because they have triangle shaped ears and sweet looks. They get used to you and love you once they feel your love and care. Our cat follows us everywhere.We like to watch her happiness when her head is caressed.

Muge - Turkey

Because they are cuddly.  My cats shows me lots of love before I feed her and after.  They can also sleep on your bed.
