With all that cats do for us studies show they lower blood pressure, and anecdotal evidence reveals they make great alarm clocks we decided to show our appreciation by putting together a list of our favorite things about cats. (And if you missed it, Oct. 29 was National Cat Day, a full 24-hour celebration of kitties that encourages the adoption of shelter cats.)
Read on to see just how wonderful life with a feline can be and consider adopting a
shelter cat of your own.

Cats aren’t arrogant, they’re just better than us.

We have two rescue cats. It is truly heartwarming to drive up to our house and see a cat in the window waiting for me. I am just naturally a bit melancholy, and I have lost parents and two siblings. Even though I have so much to be grateful for— a husband and beautiful children, for example, the additional blessing of having warm furry friends to greet me when I get home is a big comfort. I know our whole family is happier with them around.

Agreed. Nothing like a furry face greeting you at the door.

Great pix, Slings. Thanks for the ping. ;-)
Now that Lucas Prince of Darkness has passed on, there are
too many female cats here. We need a couple more males.
We’re not ready yet, but the day will come before too long.

I have been owned by more than a dozen cats over the years, and my family are currently being permitted to share a home with two of these creatures.
I know from experience exactly how evil they are.
With that said, my post was intended as “Reason 16” for adopting a cat.

The worst part is that the furry alarm clock does not have a snooze button.

That is great! But I strongly suspect they all have the opposite version and use it on us all the time.

*It teaches you humility once you accept your position as a lower form of life.*
I trust the cat reaction to others. Dogs too.
