Dogs vs. Cats

Cats vs. Dogs


In the ongoing battle of cats versus dogs, pet owners will always be willing to sing the praises of their chosen animal. While dogs are often considered to be the more human-friendly pet, cats have their own equally enthusiastic fan base that can easily rattle off the attributes of their feline best friend. The truth is that cats – loyal, loving, and often misunderstood – are just as popular in the world of pets as dogs.

The history of cats goes back over9, 000 years to Egypt and other ancient civilizations. Always the skilled predators, cats were often relied upon to control vermin in grain stores.. But there is also speculation that cats were kept as house pets as early as 7,500 BC. We do know that ancient Egyptian civilizations revered cats – so much so that anyone convicted of killing a cat was put to death. Cats have even been found mummified with their owners.

Today’s domesticated cats are beloved in many homes, a valued and loved member of the family. There are literally dozens of breeds of cats from which to choose – the personalities of each separate and distinct. Deciding which of these beautiful cats would best be suited to your home and family is largely dependent on the disposition of the cat in relation to your lifestyle. There are breeds of cats that – in keeping with their species’ tradition of independence – are completely ambivalent about human interaction. There are other breeds of cats, however, that enjoys and seeks out the company of their human owners. The choice is ultimately dependent upon your own personality as it relates to pets.

Choosing to own cats means a dedication to being a responsible and caring owner; be sure to research the obligations of cat ownership including the food needs of your cat, space needed, and veterinary appointments.
Cats are wonderful pets and companions and having one in your home can be a joy for you and your family. Choose your cat wisely and prepare for a great addition to your family.
