Cats are the most popular pets

Most people love dogs but recently the cat has overtaken them in the popularity stakes.   In the U.K. and worldwide there are many millions more cats kept as pets than there are dogs.   So why is this?   Maybe it’s a lifestyle thing?   We have to go out to work, especially in these times of financial hardship, and it’s just easier to keep a cat than it is a dog.

Cats are more independent and we don’t have to watch them when they go outside.   Cats are very tactile too, it’s even good for us to stroke that soft furry body when the cat jumps up on our knee and starts to purr.   They are basically lower maintenance than a dog and don’t have the same potential hang-ups and problems – aggression, chewing, running off etc.  Whoever heard of the cat biting the postman?   Alright I know an email is already on it’s way ……………
