I particularly love cats and I find it very relaxing every time I stroke them. They are cuddly and very peaceful pets. They just want to be near you and be stroked. However, there are people who do not like cats and I could not help but wonder why. Basically cats are very lovely and as a pet they have been men's cohabitant for a very long time just as dogs are men's best friend.

Our relationships with cats have extended for decades and it still has not changed over time. There are a lot of people who like cats over dogs. However, we are not discussing dogs versus cats because actually both are going to be cool and nice pets found in our house although you could just say that cats are probably just comfortable being held as the second most popular pet next to the dogs.

One good thing about cats is that they are one good option especially if you are not at home a lot. Actually, they will only need what little attention you can probably give them in your hectic and busy lifestyle. Unlike the first placer of popular species, the dogs, they do not particularly need everyday care or perhaps to exercise daily. Cats will just be contented with little food and attention. They are flexible in terms of adjusting to environment and it is relatively easy to house them even if you only have little space in your apartment. They adjust well in every living situation that is available for them. Like dogs they also like to play and they are also loyal. They give their affection much easier and freely to anybody making them irresistible pets for many.

Most people have cats that are non-pedigree because they are results of multiple cat breeding. However, they are still as cool as their preceding ancestries. There is a small fraction of cats that are pure breeds because apparently there are no defined pros and cons in owning a pure bred one plus their prices can be as high as Mount Everest for that matter. However, there are those cat fanatics who are willing to spend real huge amount of money just to own a pure bred cat for a pet. Some others are collecting cats. Whatever their reasons are, I guess I could really understand why.

Among cat breeds, they can be differentiated by their body shape, of course their sizes, the colors of their hair and eyes, the length of hair and the display of their personality. However, there is only one major category that most cats fell under to and that is in the length of their hair. This is further classified as short haired cats and long haired cats. Basically, because of multiple breeding, short haired cats are the more common ones. Of course there is also a fraction of long haired cats that are not purely bred but compared to those authentic pure breed cats, they have relatively shorter hair. Pure bred cats have the longest hair among the three.
