Some of the best pets to own are cats, rabbits, smaller and larger birds, fish, and snakes. All of these animals are a great choice when looking for a pet to take home.

 

Why should you take these pets home?

These animals are very different, but one thing they have in common is that they aren’t super hard to take care of. Cats are easy pets to take care of because they are quiet and are low maintenance compared to other animals. Cats are also easier to train. Cats are also a good pet to have if you live in an apartment. Cats also have longer life spans and are very independent. Cats clean themselves, so no need for bathing them. Rabbits can be great pets because they also don’t need to be walked, but that choice is optional. Rabbits also match the time you go to bed or to the time you wake up. Rabbits are kind and mostly friendly. Small and big birds can be good pets because they are very intelligent. They also can stay indoors for long periods, but that is also optional to the owner. Small and big birds are also very social and mostly like being around people. Fish are a really easy pet to take care of because they are calm and don’t make any noises. Fish are also very fun to look at and also fun to feed. They don’t need much as a pet that lives in water. Snakes are very cool and have a fun texture. Snakes are also less expensive than other pets. These are why these animals are better pets to own.

The best time to buy a cat is when is it over two years old, This is because it could benefit you if or when you have a child. The best time to get a rabbit is when it has fully developed.

Top five reasons why cats are the best pets

Top five reasons why cats are the best pets

While many people don’t, or can’t have pets, people struggle to make up their minds on what kind of pet they would like to own. There are so many choices such as birds, cats, dogs, chickens, bunnies, geckos, and many more. You may be thinking, so many choices, which to choose? Out of all of these animals, it all comes down to one, the cat. Cats are the best pets to own, and here are the top five reasons why.

 

Reason #1

Cats are very affordable. While dogs can be priced in the hundreds, and sometimes the thousands. Cats are typically sold at around $50-$100. Though some breeds of cats coming from certain breeders do cost closer to $300, but they are still typically cheap. Things such as food, litter boxes, toys, etc, also come relatively cheap. If you are looking to not have to constantly clean a litter box, some nice litter boxes come around $100, but the plain and standard litter box comes to a price around $20-$30. With that said cats can be pretty cheap and affordable.

 

Reason #2

Cats are naturally potty trained. Unlike dogs, birds, or other pets, you don’t have to train your cat to use the litter box. Cats have developed an instinct to go to the bathroom in the litter box on their own. Kittens will learn this from observing their mothers. A kitten will learn to use the litter box by the age of 3-4 weeks. This means by the time you get your little kitten they will be nearly, or all the way litter box trained. In the article How To Litter Train An Older Cat — Senior Cat Wellness it explains that if you buy a cat that has not been properly litter box trained it’s still possible to train them to use the litter box.

 

Reason #3

Cats can help reduce stress and anxiety. In the article How Cats Help Improve Mental Health | The Catnip Times states “ Cats are beneficial to us from a mental and physical health perspective. Because of cats’ ability to calm us, lower stress levels, and offer companionship they are great therapy animals.” Cats are known to be calming and relaxing animals. Studies have shown that cats have a subtle positive effect on us and our mental health.

 

Reason #4

Cats can keep your house and lawn free of rodents. Even hundreds of years ago cats were used to keep control of mice and rats. In the article Seafaring felines: Cats have long had adventures aboard ships it states, “Cats have a long history as crew members on boats, including ships. Ancient Egyptians carried them on boats to control infestations of mice and rats. Irish and British sailors used to believe that inviting a black cat on board ensured good luck on a journey.” Cats were often brought on ships to take care of rodents. In 1988 cats were still being brought on ships. Now they are no longer needed on the sea’s but they are always great for catching mice in your backyard.

 

Reason #5

Cats are very low maintenance. If you’re a person who can’t be home all day for work or you’re constantly going on vacations. Unlike a dog, cats don’t need to be petted all day and taken on walks twice a day. You can leave them alone for hours and they still are happy. If you have automatic feeders and water bowls you only need to take care of their meals once a week, the feeders will do the rest of the work.

 

Conclusion

In the end, Cats are some of the best types of pets. They are potty trained by the time they are 4 weeks old. Cats are very affordable; their cost ranges from $50-$100, with some cats pricing at around $300. Compared to dogs, that’s relatively cheap. They can reduce stress and anxiety of all ages. They are very calm and soothing. They can keep your house and lawn free of all rodents. They are also super low maintenance, you don’t have to spend hours and hours with them. Their constantly happy and great companions. It may not seem much like it but cats are the best pets you can find.

Having a cat collar is a great way to know where they are when you hear the bell ringing on it, also a tag with your address and there name can be easier to find them if they get lost. Toys like, small balls with bell, small mouse toys, and they love the toys were there is a stick for you to hold then a string hanging with something at the end, those are only a few toys cats like!
