If you like cute, cuddly creatures, then read on to find out why you should love
cats! 😻
Imagine that it is a cold snowy day. Now you have to go outside and walk your pet. Well, you don't have to, because you have a cat. Cats don't need walks. They are fine with just chilling in the SUN!
Cats are considered some of the cleanest creatures. Other animals need a bath every week or two. Cats don't need baths very often. (This only applies to most cats, some breeds like Ragdoll require more cleaning). Cats clean themselves up to three times a day!
Cats can live a long time. Some animals only live for 2-3 years! Cats can live for 13-20 years. If you're an animal lover, I know you would want to spend more time with your furry friend.
Cats can reduce your heart rate and blood pressure! Spending as little as 10 minutes with your cat can help reduce your heart rate.
Cats can be your personal pest control and rodent control. I know I don't like bugs or rodents. Cats will get rid of them for you. Even their scent will deter other animals from coming into your home.
Fun Facts!!
1. Different from most animals, cats walk like camels and giraffes. They move their right feet first, then both of their left feet.
2. Cats like classical music, while rock and heavy metal music stresses them out.
3. A sixth of a cat's life can be spent sleeping.
4. Cats and humans have almost identical sections of the brain that control emotions.
5. Cats only meow to communicate with humans. They don't usually meow to communicate with other cats.
6. Cats do not have the ability to taste anything sweet. This is due to a genetic mutation.
7. Unlike us humans, cats sweat only through the pads on their paws. They cool themselves down by licking their fur and panting.
From this article it is clear that cats are clean, can live long lives, don’t require walks, can reduce your heart rate and blood pressure and help with pest control!
