Most people are obsessed with dogs and completely love them. However, I do not feel the same way. Don't get me wrong, I do love running into dogs on the sidewalk and getting to pet them, however, I prefer cats and am much more excited to meet a new one. Maybe it is because I grew up with cats or maybe because of my personality, but whatever the reason, I believe cats are better and here is why.

1. They don't bark

There is nothing more annoying than a dog that won't stop barking. Whether it is a dog you meet walking down the streets or one barking the night away, the noise is extremely annoying. Cats on the other hand occasionally meow, but only when necessary. More importantly, they purr- which is the cutest noise in the world.

2. They are confident

They know they are the greatest animal to walk this planet, and they are not afraid to show it. They strut with such great confidence, as they should.

3. They were worshipped

Clearly, we can learn from the Egyptians. They worshipped cats, and I believe they were onto something. Honestly, I think we should go back to worshipping them too.

4. They are cute

I mean come on, think about Puss in Boots. He is absolutely adorable, and so are cats in general. They are furry, and many of them like to cuddle up with you. They are extra cute when you wrap them up like a little burrito and hold them in your arms.

5. They are content with being left alone

Cats don't need you to give them constant attention like dogs do. They are completely fine with being left home alone to wander the house. They will also leave you alone when you are busy. Yes, they may walk across your keyboard, but if you really need to be left alone you can push them away and they will leave, unlike dogs who keep coming back to bother you.

6. They are sassy

They can give you such an attitude. You can see it in their eyes and in their strut. I have a sassy personality, so I love having an animal that mirrors it.

7. They are easily entertained

You don't need fancy toys and squeaky balls to entertain cats. Cats are content playing with hair ties and sitting in boxes. In fact, it is best not to buy cats toys because they probably won't play with them.

8. Catnip

Sprinkle some on a toy or even on the floor for your cat, and just sit back and watch as they go crazy. It's just super fun watching them roll around on the floor.
