Everyone seems to think dogs are better than cats or that cats are mean little gremlins, well I believe that cats are better than dogs. Yeah, dogs are happy and cute, but after watching Cujo and have been bitten by a dog, I'll keep adopting furry little feline friends. Here are five reasons to why cats are better pets than dogs.

1. Cats are better hunters and more reliable

When winter rolls around and you're spending money on pest control, just remember that cats can kill all these little, unwanted house guests for free. Cats are known to be natural born hunters and their sly nature of hunting will come to your rescue when your cat brings you that mouse, that you had no idea was in your home.

2. Cats are easier to take care of

When it comes to the vet, both cats and dogs hate going, but with cats, you assure yourself that you will be in and out. It's easier to get cats to that vet. Not only is vet care easier, but they are trained to use a litter box--of course you have to show them where it is, but once they get used to it, they know where to go. You don't have to let them out at all to use the bathroom.

3. Quiet and loving

Cats don't bark at every leaf that falls or every time the doorbell rings. Odds are that they don't care. Cats sleep 12-20 hours a day (okay, but same) and if you're like my oldest cat and new kitten, you chase the middle cat around the house for exercise. Other than waking you up at the crack of dawn for food, cats are quiet and friendly companions. They love sitting and sleeping with the owner that feeds them (yes they do). 99% of the time, they will be purring too.

4. Loyalty

All cats are loyal to their owners. If you have cats that are both indoor and outdoor and you let them outside, they don't need to be fenced in because they will come back--and maybe even bring you a gift. If you bring another cat or a dog into the home, your cat will become your best friend because they don't want to share with anyone.

5. Way cuter

Let me end it with this: cats are 10x cuter than dogs. I mean, if you look at a sleeping cat you'll understand. Dogs and puppies are cute, but cats and kittens win the cuteness factor.
