There are more cats than dogs in China. Why are people more keen on keeping cats?

Because cats are quiet and clever, the cost of raising cats is lower than that of raising dogs, and it takes less time, which can not only meet the needs of modern people to raise pets, but also do not need to invest too much time and energy in care.

Nowadays, many people like to keep a pet as a companion. Some people will choose to keep a dog, some cats, some hamsters, some Dutch pigs and so on. But generally there are more dogs and cats. Combining my personal opinion with some friends who own cats around me, why are you more keen on owning cats?

time cost

The first thing to consider when keeping a pet is your own time and money. Dogs go out for a walk every day, because dogs can't stay at home all day. If you lock them up all day, they will probably tear down their homes. They must have a big place to keep dogs. For example, many people just rent a single room or a living room when they work outside, which is not enough for dogs to run around, but keeping cats is different. Cats are relatively small, so it is necessary to build a nest for them. Basically don't worry about it, just pour it cat food and water, and then prepare a cat litter box. Don't walk the cat, stay with it when you have time, and let it play by itself when you have no time. Dogs eat more, eat more, and their expenses are definitely higher than those of cats.

quiet

Cats are basically quiet and like to accompany you silently. Many times they will follow you or squat at your feet, but dogs sometimes bark in the middle of the night, which may lead to complaints from neighbors. When I rented a house, the landlord's dog next door always barked at night. I said it was useless several times and moved away. I really can't sleep well.

clean

Cats always like to keep their bodies clean and often comb their hair, because even if they roll on the floor at home, they won't get dirty and don't need to take a bath every day. But dogs are different. If they go out to walk their dogs, they like to roll on the ground. If they let go of the rope and let them play, they may get dirty, so they must take a bath every day, or they may get fleas! Once there are fleas, it is very troublesome, and it may jump on people.

There are three friends around me who all have cats. My family used to have a dog, mainly my mother, who always picked up dog excrement. Taking it out might scare others and make trouble at night. The most troublesome thing is that there are many fleas on the dog, so my mother gave them away. These friends of mine feel comfortable with cats and can take care of them when they get home from work. They think that keeping cats is a pleasure, not a pleasure.

In fact, no matter what kind of pet you have, you should be responsible for it. You can't buy one on a whim, and it won't take long to get bored and throw it away. If you don't like it, you can give it away. Don't let it become a stray cat or dog.
