Cats, in their own way, are also loyal, playful and make excellent pets.
Cats are more than happy in their personal space, so you do not have to worry about leaving them alone at your home when you step out for work or to run errands. They like to have affection, but they do not demand it all the time from their owners.
Cats just love to play or some around rather than munching down all their food in one go.
