= -Why Cats Are Superior- =

Cats are the classic pet for anyone's grandma, or lonely old people in general, and honestly cats just get a bad reputation for being old people pets. I know I'm a crazy cat lady, and I know what your thinking, aren't I a little young to be planning out how many cats I will own one day? And the answer to the question is, absolutely not! I know I'm crazy, but that's what adds character... right? Okay so lets get over that fact I'm a crazy cat lady and lets jump in! So personally I think cats are underestimated way too often, dogs always have to take the top spot. How many cats shows have you seen on tv... probably none right. Now how many dog shows are on the tv, there are so many that you can find. Cats just need to be seen that's what they truly deserve. There are so many different aspects to a cats personality, some of which are beneficial to human. I know that cats can be portrayed as soulless demon creatures, that only care for themselves, but behind that tough exterior there is a fluffy fur ball ready for love. Cats are not only honest and caring creatures, they are complex in their actions. When humans are happy, sad, angry, cats can tell, and some might argue and say that dogs are just the same, but all dogs want is someone to pet their belly. Cats don't just roll over for anyone; its about trust and the capability of letting a stranger be around you. Another emotion that cats are able to show is compassion, they feel what their owners feel and react accordingly. Cats are loyal to their owners, because they have given their trust to someone who deserves it. The same cannot be said for dogs, all dogs show love to every person they meet, to me it seems a little sad. I can always rely on my cat to be there with me, and only me. Dogs are just animals, but they aren't better than that of cats. All dogs are just hyperactive maniacs who always want treats and belly rubs. I have a little six pound dog and I don't think she has ever stopped barking. What is the real point to bark at the mail man, I never will understand. Gosh and the hygiene for dogs is terrible, cats at least can clean themselves, and not smell like they had just gone through piles of trash. So where does this argument leave us then, you can see all the great points about cats, it just surprises me why there aren't more cat people in this world. Dogs have good qualities, but cats out weigh them by a ton. Cats are truly the perfect animal creating such special bonds with their owners, and thus far superior over dirty dogs.
