If you do not yet have a pet, you may be wondering if a cat would be a better pet choice than a dog for you. Cats and dogs are much different from one another and a significant amount of thought should go into the making of this decision. Let’s take a look!
Do Cats Love their Owners like Dogs?
You may be asking yourself; do cats love their owners? The answer… yes! Of course, they love their owners! Although they may not show their affection as extremely as a dog will, they often care for their owners very much. Cats have a more independent personality than a dog and therefore will often wander on their own until they are prepared to be affectionate. Cats act on their own time rather than ours. Cats and dogs are very different in this aspect as dogs are often affectionate at any given time. If you are searching for a more independent pet which does not require a significant amount of attention (all-day long attention like a dog); it would be best to adopt a cat.
