Every parent faces a choice when their child asks to get a pet.

Which pet to choose – a cat or a dog – depends on many factors.

Today we will side with the cat lovers and tell you why a cat is a better choice than a dog.

Firstly, representatives of the feline family are always cleaner than dogs, since these animals always take care of their hygiene and, in addition, do not go for walks outside, which means they will not bring sand and other garbage on their paws.

The second point follows smoothly from the first – you don’t need to plan your day in such a way as to include time for walking your pet in your schedule.

Thirdly, with a cat there are fewer problems when you think about where to place the animal while you are on vacation.

If you are going away for a short time, you can simply leave your pet at home alone, providing it with water and food and asking a loved one to visit your cat periodically.

And fourthly, keeping a cat is much cheaper than the costs required for a dog, if only because it is smaller in size, which means it requires less food.
