Sorry Dog People, Here Are 6 Reasons Why Cats Are The Best Pets

Dogs are second best, don't worry, but no pet can beat a cat.

There is no doubt that any kind of pet is the best pet to ever exist. As long as they are yours and willing to grace you with their presence, you know that they are the best. However, for me, there is one pet that stands out from the rest. Dogs are great, sweet, kind animals.

Anything kept in a tank or aquarium is perfect and better than any human you'll ever meet. Despite all pets being great, cats are the best of the best. They are sweeter and yet ruder than any creature to ever be domesticated.

1. They are low so maintenance that even fish are jealous

As long as you feed the little guys, you are perfectly fine with letting them go on their own. Both indoor and outdoor cats don't require much maintenance whatsoever, but that doesn't mean they aren't accepting of any excess pampering their owners want to give them. They are humble, but never modest. They'll take all the love and affection they can get.

2. They are cuddlier than any other pet

Sorry dog people, you are just wrong when you argue that cats are not as cuddly as dogs. Cats, though they like to seem as if they are not interested in being smothered with love, are definitely the cuddliest pet you can have. They enjoy anything that is warm to curl up around and, besides sunspots on a carpet and hot laptops, humans are the warmest thing they can wrap themselves up around. Well, humans or other pets that they can use for their own need for warmth.

If you have ever sat somewhere for a few seconds where cats live, you know that your lap, chest, and head are all cuddling opportunities for the cat.

3. They understand sarcasm/pettiness more than humans

Dogs understand pure joy like no other creature, but if you've ever had a bad day and you want to rant to a pet, cats are the go to. They are the white, suburban moms of animals, ready to fight whoever you are complaining about. Though they can't talk, you know that they are telling you to be as petty as possible to every driver who cuts you off in traffic.

4. They will protect you as if they are the size of a lion

Well, at least they try to. Some outdoorsy cats can bring little gifts to their owners, while some indoor cats struggle with killing bugs. No matter what though, those little hunters are trying their hardest to protect you from everything.

5. They manage to look beautiful and dumb at the same time

If you've ever seen a cat gracefully go from cleaning themselves and sitting as if they are distinguished monarch on top of their cable box thrown to jumping and completely missing their target, you know what this means. Cats act like royalty, yet they perform so many silly acts before acting as if they meant to do every single mistake they have done.

Cats are the perfect example of sophisticated morons, and we love them more for that.

6. Toe beans

Hands down, the best feature of a cat, and also something that humans love to gawk over with their pets. There is no reason for little cat feet to be as perfect or beautiful as they are.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
