So it may just be my personal decision, but when deciding on what pet you would like to introduce to your family let me break some of the pros and cons down for you in regards to cats and dogs. Dogs unfortunately have a lot of cons in my minds eye, the fact that they most of them are very loud (you will no doubt be hearing from your neighbours a lot more than you would ever want to), they also tend to smell, and need a lot of exercise and aren’t very independent. So if your not one for big vet bills, big food bills, and going for walks at least once a day (even in freezing cold winter time!) an even worse con is that most dogs work on a timetable (especially for those indoor dogs) so that you would be home at the same time every day! Honestly having thought about it for the last wee while, I really can not think of a pro reason for wanting a dog! (Sorry to all those dog lovers out there reading this!) Now as you probably are aware by now, I am most definitely a cat lover. Why? Well these animals are not only cute and cuddly, they are very independent, they are intelligent to the fact you can train your cat just as you could a dog! Teach your kitty to accept a harness and you will be enjoying the big outdoors together when ever YOU or YOUR KITTY desires, which won’t be every day! Although their vet bill may amount to somewhat of a small fortune, there endless attention and affection for you in my minds eye will always be my payment. I could not think of a better noise to hear when you are snuggled up at night in bed listening to the content purr of your kitty that loves you, and that would probably be the most noise he will ever make! Cats communicate with humans by meowing, and there are always different meows for different occasions, so if you adore your kitty enough, you will get to learn what your kitty wants in next to no time at all! Athough some types of breeds of Cats and Dogs definitely do not mind sharing your house with one another. A great idea is to introduce them when they are kitten and puppy, where they may end up lifelong pals! If this isn't possible, introduce them slowly over a period of a few weeks or months to get used to each other, and to make the encounter as stress free for your kitty as possible. Always make sure the introductons are in a controlled environment where you are standing by for anything that could go wrong. The Complete Cat Care Team have put together a great product, that covers everything from toilet training your kitty to looking after your senior cat! |
