By Rebetta Tyrkera

Are you living alone in a single apartment unit in the middle of a crowded city? Do you want some company that is not demanding of your time? Or maybe you just prefer indulging in your maternal instinct and want someone to cuddle when you get home minus the complications of a personal relationship. If you replied yes to the three aforementioned queries, then maybe it's about time you get a pet.

Undoubtedly, pets are known to be good choices when it comes to bonding moments especially if one desires freedom from fellow humans. History has shown that pets are extremely loyal, highly intelligent and responsible in certain chores. And, when compared to humans, they are not clingy and can be left alone for hours or even days. Just leave them some food, water and their other basic needs. Isn't that a relief to be free from constant attention?

There are a lot of available choices in the animal clinic or at the veterinarian's office. Obviously, there are dogs, cats, wild birds and farm animals like rabbits and hamsters. However, for those who prefer a more challenging task, albino pythons and tarantulas are also present. With the ease of travel even among pets nowadays, it is not that hard to find your ultimate match.

Most people go for domesticated animals like cats and dogs. However, there are certain benefits that a cat can give its owner that a dog can't. Read on why being a cat owner is great.

One, owning a cat conditions you to become more aware of their basic needs and wants. You have to think about the food they eat, their source of water, their medications, their physical activity, grooming necessities and even accessories. You must also be prepared to face the vet in case your cat feels sick. All these may seem like heavy burdens but the truth is, you get to build up virtues that cannot be measured. This will make you into a more mature and selfless human being.

Second, having a cat will give you a motivation to wake up each day with enthusiasm. This is because you have something to look forward to. You are not merely living for yourself anymore. If previously you lived your day to day activities in a robotic manner, now, you will feel more energized. You will also have another reason for going home early because you are aware that someone awaits your presence. If you feel stressed out from all the tension-filled meeting at the office, playing with your cat is a great way to de-stress.

Third, you can have more acquaintances and friends. You may join a cat owners' association or cat lovers' organization to learn about ways to make your cat become a better pet. Having fun with these like-minded people will be a blast and you might even meet a special someone there. If not, be content that you can have someone to talk to. There are a lot of things that can be discussed regarding the care of a cat so don't worry about possible awkward moments.

So after reading this interesting and information-filled write up, you are now ready to own a cat. Head to the nearest animal clinic and pick the feline of your choice. Enjoy!
