In the first place, people enjoy the companionship of cats. Many cats are affectionate. They will snuggle up and ask to be petted, or scratched under the chin.
If they're not feeling affectionate, cats are generally quite playful. They love to chase balls and feathers, or just about anything dangling from a string.
A dog will, however, respond instantly to his owner’s every wish and will lie at die owner’s feet anytime, anywhere. A dog is very much like a child, in that it cannot be left alone in the house for too long. It will get bored easily and can make your house look as if a tornado were just there. On the other hand, for ease of care, or peace and quiet, cats can be a better choice. Cats will not question authority; they won’t even listen to it. There are many species of cats, but then- size will generally be the same for all breeds.
