Why should we get kittens as pets?

Kittens are and have always been adorable creatures. Of
course, these youngsters are also playful, naughty and
mischievous as well. Perhaps that's the reason why people
are attracted to them, as they entertain us with their
peculiar antics and curiosity. Cats and dogs have been
found to relieve humans of stress and make great companions
at home. Of course, choosing between a cat and a dog is
totally a personal choice.
Why should we get a kitten then? Well, for one thing, they
are cute and adorable and are less active as compared to
dogs. They recognize us as their masters but do not overly
show their enthusiasm like dogs. That's why they make you
work for their affection all the time, instead of the other
way around.
Kittens are small in size and therefore easy to carry
around. This makes it easy for you to take your cat around
in your car or when you need to take your cat with you
outside. However, cats and kittens have tendencies to seek
ways to escape from your home and therefore this may prove
to a problem if your cat keeps trying to make its way
out of your house. With this, many owners let their cats
roam in and out of their houses, and most of the time, their
pets return home on time for dinner. Sometimes, they even
bring home their own prey for dinner.
Kittens and cats bury their own waste in the sand box, so
that you don't have to take after them, unlike dogs. They
can be trained to use the sand box which you just need to
have a change of sand once in a while. On the other hand,
kittens also each much less than dogs, and therefore cost
less in maintenance. They are usually non-aggressive, and
will be less likely to bite anyone. However, they may
get irritated with human behavior and sometimes may want to
be left alone. With this, they can scratch with their sharp
claws if they are not happy.
Kittens can't be trained. They just won't listen. That is
why you will not need to send your cat to cat school to be
trained. This will also mean that you don't have to spend
money getting your cat trained. Cats and kittens also do not
bark and therefore are suitable for apartment or
condominiums where they won't even wake up the neighbours.
One thing about cats is their nature to wander around their
neighborhood which may get them into trouble sometimes. With
this, they may get knocked down by a car or be involved in
accidents. Apart from this, cats also can get sick,
especially when they wander outside and eat material from
outside the home. You will then need to pay for your cat's
medical bills, although it will not cost you as much if you
were to have a dog.
Finally, kittens do not need you to exercise them like dogs.
They don't need to be taken out for walks and they don't
make demands on you as well. They live their own lives, but
do need to be pat once in a while. If you are a cat person,
you will definitely understand them! See or add your cute
