Base on the diagram, read the paragraph below.

There are several similarities that cats and dogs share, but at the same time
they are very different. These two animals are two of the most popular pets today.
They both have fur and four legs.
Both cats and dogs can be trained. Cats are more independent and are
generally cheaper and less demanding pets. Dogs are loyal and obedient but require
more attention and exercise, including regular walks. And last, but not the least –
they both bring love and affection to humans, love to sleep with their owners, and
are believed to alleviate problems with health.
