1. They'll cuddle you every night without making things awkward.

2. They don't use any dishes.

Except one food bowl and one water dish…but you don’t really have to wash them very often so that’s nice.

3. They don't eat all of your food.

Seeing as human food isn't exactly a good choice for cats, you won't have to worry about them stealing your food.

4. They don't leave the toilet seat up.

Litter box. Problem solved.

5. They don't use all of the hot water.

6. They generate more happiness and less stress.

Petting any animal releases endorphins (true story… I read it somewhere). Cats release more (probably not true… I just think it’s true).

7. They keep you warmer.

Cats are soft and if they’re lying on you, they make you a little warmer in the winter.

Sometimes, they even leave some of their fur on you to make sure you’re warm. How thoughtful.

8. They don't like drama.

Well, they don’t talk, at least.

9. They can even give you a bath.

I wouldn’t rely on them, but it’s nice that they’re trying.

10. They don't change the channel.

They’ll sit with you whether you’re watching “The Aristocats” or “The Notebook” or even “101 Dalmatians”. Cats are just those kinds of people roommates.

11. Or play video games!

No opposable thumbs, no problem.

12. They help you with homework.

In the best way that they can, anyway…

13. They're just cute...look!

Meow!
