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
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! Look at the adorable cute little kittens and cats at
