In the forever ongoing debate between cats being better than dogs, and dogs being better than cats, there may never be a clear winner. Through long-ongoing research, scientists have determined that there are benefits of being an owner of either animal, such as happiness and increased quality of life.

However, cats just tend to have a more compelling argument as to why they are the better animal and here's why:

1. Cats are less slobbery than dogs

Cats don't slobber on you as a way of showing their love, and that's perfectly fine with me.

2. Cats are cheaper than dogs

Cats can make a toy out of anything and plus they don't chew up your shoes like dogs do.

3. Cats don't need a lot of space

They will literally sleep anywhere and take up barely any space since they're so tiny.

4. Cats are quiet

They're so quiet, you barely know where they are.

5. Dogs can't purr

Dogs show you their love by licking you and barking. Barking just gets too annoying.

6. Cats are cleaner than dogs and they smell better

Cat's are self-groomers and hate getting dirty.

7. They're true comedians
