What is the perfect pet?

Cats are probably the most common pets in the world. A large number of people
often prefers meowing animals because they do not need daily walks, live at
home, they are small in size and most of the time sleep and blend in with the
interior of the home. The joy of owning a cat can hardly be described in words!
Owning a pet is a big responsibility.
First - very often, choosing our domestic kitten, we imagine how it will live with
us in the apartment or in our house, how it will wake us up early in the morning
because it is hungry, how it will walk in every corner of our home. We are
happy when we come home from work in the evening and it greets us at the
door, and in the morning, it sends us meowing around us. Moreover living
together with us, we will never feel lonely also we will always have a faithful
friend to talk to when we get home from work. In addition, this same friend will
be with us whenever we are in the kitchen, always watching what we are
cooking, then he will lie down with us to watch an interesting movie and finally
it will fall asleep next to us purring contentedly. However, how can we be sure
that the cat is happy, confined at home. Cats become attached to the house. It is
also believed that there is a lot of positive energy in any home where there is a
cat. Furthermore waking us up in the morning with a sweet meow, luckily we
don't have to go outside with our kitty because our pet doesn't need walks
outside. So in this case we don't have to worry about the weather outside, how to
dress ourselves and our pet if it's cold. We don't have to worry about cleaning
his paws after going outside with him. It will just do that later in the day. We
can even after he pats us with his paw and signals that it's time for breakfast then
just go back to bed.
Secondly – they are small in size and this gives them a great advantage when the
owner travels. They can always be with us wherever we travel in a backpack or
box especially for carrying kittens. Even if the cat is up to a certain weight, it
can stay with us on the plane. In addition, given the size of the cat, we can
always pick it up and hold it for a long time if necessary, without the discomfort
of weight and scale. Also, due to their small size, sometimes they can settle
somewhere to sleep for a while and we cannot find them even if we call them to
come to us.
Last but not least - Most of the time they sleep and don't bother you. Recent
scientific studies show that cats spend seventy to eighty percent of their lives
sleeping. This makes them ideal pets because they will never disturb you. This
also applies to your neighbour’s or if you have a baby at home. Even if you have
to be away from home for a few days, your kitten will spend most of the time
sleeping. However, never forget to leave him enough water and food! In this
case, it will calmly eat and sleep and will sleep again all the time while you are
not at home for couple days.
In conclusion to all this, having a kitten is ideal if you live in a small apartment
and don't have much space for a pet. It is very suitable if you work a lot even in
irregular working hours and even if you have to travel. For a long trip, you can
take it with you. And because they are quiet and won't disturb you, they are
perfect creatures that you will never have a problem with or most of the time of
their growth from a small kitten to a big cute kitten.
