I recently just got a cat, and these are the perks that I have noticed in my life in the past week since I got her.
1. Constant entertainment
Literally... they will be having a spaz attack at 10 p.m. and you just can't help but to laugh hysterically.
2. Always enough judgment to go around
With my cat, I always feel like she is judging me. To what I wear, to my friends, and everything in-between.
3. Snuggle buddies... when they want to be sweet
They love to snuggle, but it has to be on their time. If you have a cat, you understand this. If you don't have a cat, if they don't want to lay down with you, they just won't. But if your cat is sweet like mine, she will :)
4. They are low maintenance
Cats are nothing like puppies or other animals. They don't have to be under constant surveillance. And if you had to leave them at home alone, it would not be a problem since they do their own thing anyway.
5. They are interested in anything that moves
Lasers, toys, balls. You name it, a cat (a kitten even more so) will chase it and play with it. I once bought my cat a toy, and she played with the wrapper, not the toy.

From my cat: they type on your keyboard for you.
7. Always waiting on you when you get home
Always! There is just something about having an animal be excited to see you that warms my heart.
8. Use a litter box
There is no need have to spend extensive amount of time potty training them. For the most part, it is an instinct. They know where they are suppose to go to the bathroom. However, you just need to make sure the litter box is always easily accessible.
9. They do not destroy everything
You can leave shoes, homework, books, and a number of other things on the ground or out in the open, and you won't have to worry about it being totally destroyed when you come back home.
10. They will be your best friend
There, I said it, a cat can and will be your best friend. Just give them the love and affection they need.
