Why YOU should you own a cat?

Because they are purrrfect. Cats are more than funny videos and cute pictures to look at. With each of the following oh-so-convincing reasons to own a fur-ball below, every kitty earns their place on their own little throne. Although the majority of my time I am constantly snapping pictures and videos of Luna. Here are the top three reason to own yourself a little ball of joy. 

Reason Number One:

      First and foremost, cats are hunters. They hunt all types of the creepy crawly creature, insects and bugs, but also larger rodents as well. (They also are keen hunters for lasers and shadows.) So if you have a deathly fear of spiders like I do, a cat is the purr-fect edition. Before I got my cat, if I saw a spider I could not even kill it. Now I am living the spider free life thanks to my Luna Bear. 

Reason Number 2:

     Cats are solo dolos. You might be thinking, “but I want an animal that will run up and cuddle me and greet me at the door!” They do that too! Unlike children, kitties come pre potty trained! Show them the litter box, and they will forever see the yellow brick road. I-N-D-E-P-E-N-T do you know what I mean? She got her own box, she got her own bowl. Rappers Webbie and Lil Boosie know all about those ‘kool kats’.  So all that excuses of being gone too much or too lazy are out the window.

Reason Number 3:

           Cats are known to reduce anxiety as well as stress. As a college student nearing the end of my semester, my work load is becoming increasingly more demanding. Within the next few weeks of school, students will be paw to paw with a horrific monster known as finals. After getting my little fur ball of joy, I notice a change in my demeanor whenever the end of the semester neared. Cats calm anxiety that some people do not even realize are present. “When you spend time with a cat, your production of serotonin, a chemical that boosts feelings of well-being, goes up, and your cortisol levels go down” (Purina). Next time your finals roll around try making your mood more pawsitive with a little kitty time, they’re the purr-fect playmates. Check out this adorable video to see it in action.  

Keep in mind all animals are fur-ever pets. Animals need your love and attention.
