8 Reasons Why Cats Are Better Than Dogs

Most people are obsessed with dogs and completely love them. However, I do not feel the same way. Don't get me wrong, I do love running into dogs on the sidewalk and getting to pet them, however, I prefer cats and am much more excited to meet a new one. Maybe it is because I grew up with cats or maybe because of my personality, but whatever the reason, I believe cats are better and here is why.

1. They don't bark

There is nothing more annoying than a dog that won't stop barking. Whether it is a dog you meet walking down the streets or one barking the night away, the noise is extremely annoying. Cats on the other hand occasionally meow, but only when necessary. More importantly, they purr- which is the cutest noise in the world.

2. They are confident

They know they are the greatest animal to walk this planet, and they are not afraid to show it. They strut with such great confidence, as they should.

3. They were worshipped


Clearly, we can learn from the Egyptians. They worshipped cats, and I believe they were onto something. Honestly, I think we should go back to worshipping them too.

4. They are cute

I mean come on, think about Puss in Boots. He is absolutely adorable, and so are cats in general. They are furry, and many of them like to cuddle up with you. They are extra cute when you wrap them up like a little burrito and hold them in your arms.

5. They are content with being left alone

Cats don't need you to give them constant attention like dogs do. They are completely fine with being left home alone to wander the house. They will also leave you alone when you are busy. Yes, they may walk across your keyboard, but if you really need to be left alone you can push them away and they will leave, unlike dogs who keep coming back to bother you.

6. They are sassy

They can give you such an attitude. You can see it in their eyes and in their strut. I have a sassy personality, so I love having an animal that mirrors it.

7. They are easily entertained

You don't need fancy toys and squeaky balls to entertain cats. Cats are content playing with hair ties and sitting in boxes. In fact, it is best not to buy cats toys because they probably won't play with them.

8. Catnip

Sprinkle some on a toy or even on the floor for your cat, and just sit back and watch as they go crazy. It's just super fun watching them roll around on the floor.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
