I love the post, but the title is wrong . It should read "Why you should let a cat choose you and become your owner?"

With the exception of some farm cats who catch rodents, cats no longer work for us like pretty much all other domesticated species do. We work for them.

A home with dogs and/or cats definitely feels better than one without. I don't think you'll regret it.

I can't get pets because I rent and there are very few places allowing pets.

I haven't lived without a cat or dog since I moved out over 30 years ago; life is so much better with them. I hope you'll be moving out soon. ;o)

Someone dumped a couple cats on my daughter's land. They promptly birthed 8 and 9 kittens. She now has 17 tiny, fluffy, adorable kittens. Her very old cat is trying to raise them, smacking the new mama cats when kits are neglected. Grandma Cat FTW
