At Lesure, we understand how fantastic these felines are. In fact, we’d argue that cats are the perfect cat-ch.

1. Cats are Easier to House Train

 

These majestic creatures have a natural tendency towards being neat, clean, and tidy. While they’re revered for their independence, it’s their likelihood of successful litter box training that separates them from their cute counterpart, dogs.

 

As highly perceptive creatures, the use of positive reinforcement also helps them interact with humans in a healthy manner. Rewarding good behavior with praise, treats, or toys leaves a long-lasting impression on how they navigate the world around them. In general, if given consistent training, they can be extremely adaptable, especially when it comes to clear communication between them and their owners.

 

2. Great For Apartment Living

 

Enjoy quiet, peaceful, and tranquil moments? So do cats!

 

Their nonchalant presence (minus the adorable purring) is due to the way they communicate. Unlike other creatures, cats will let you know how they feel based on body movements rather than vocal exchanges. For example, if a dog is hungry, they may bark loud to express their state, while cats will simply wag their tail or quietly hop on your lap to express an emotion.

 

Not only are cats super chill, but they also take up less space–which is advantageous for pet owners living in urban areas where space can be costly. Unlike larger pets or dogs that need room to roam, their independent nature allows them to be content with a cozy corner. For most felines, more important than space is a place to hide or a high perch to reside.

 

3. They Come with Extra Love (Literally)

 

Scientific studies have shown that owning a cat could potentially reduce the risk of a heart attack by a significant amount. This is also true for high blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol.

 

The theory for this study concludes that cats have a calming effect that directly impacts their owners. Perhaps a combination of physiological and psychological benefits that balances out a person’s stress levels.

 

In addition, better sleep has also been attributed to this study. There’s ample evidence to suggest that napping with your cat can improve your overall mood and reduce anxiety.
