Their purring is one of the most comforting and rewarding sounds on the
planet
A cat’s purr is not only comforting for its owner, but also a purr has healing powers. The vibrations, which range from 20 to 140 Hz, has been found to lower blood pressure, promote bone strength, heal muscle and ligament injuries, and decrease symptoms of dyspnea.
They are loving
Sure it’s on their terms, and only when they want it, but when they decide it’s time to allow you to pet them, you will be rewarded with warmth and affection that melts your heart.
Independent, require less attention
Unlike dogs, cats are not attention seekers. They like to keep to themselves and will rarely bother their owners. You don’t need to take them out for walks, play with them, or pet them as often as you do a dog. In short, a cat will accommodate your busy schedule like no other.
Litter-trained
They’re litter-trained so “accidents” are virtually nonexistent.
Less prone to disease
With cats around, the children of the household develop a strong immune system. According to researchers in Finland who reported in The Journal of Pediatrics, children are less likely to become ill with allergies and respiratory issues.
