It's not hard to love our feline friends. The list could go one forever, but I've somehow managed to knock it down with a general list of ten.

1. They clean themselves

I have to set an alarm to remember to take a shower. What makes you think I'm going to remember to bath a whole other animal?

2. You don't need to walk them

The perfect pet for a very lazy owner (i.e. me).

3. They're cute

Big eyes. Pointy ears. The small 'meow'. Need I say more?

4. They're either super expressive or stoic as a rock.

There is no in between.

5. They aren't dogs.

Don't get me wrong. I like dogs. I have a dog! But dogs are for a certain type of person...and if you are not one of them it'll be easier for you to not have one at all. They take a certain kind of patience..

6. The purring!

It means they like you and it feels so nice to be purred on :)

7. You can't teach obedience.

They do what they want and it's frustrating, but also kinda respectful.

8. Cats in Boxes.

Just look! How can you not love that?

9. When they want to be near you, the WILL be near you.

They know that you're busy and/or don't want to be bothered, but it does not matter because their need to be loved is way more important.

10. The best to relax with

More often than not they are super quiet and super relaxed animals and when you need to unwind and chill out, they'll be right there to make it a little easier.
