Here are the 14 indisputable reasons why cats win every time.

1. Cats will give attention without making a fuss about it. Their cuteness knows no bounds as they cuddle up and purr – there’s no working for it here like there is in a relationship.

2. A cuddle with your cat doesn’t have to lead to more. If you snuggle with your cat under the covers, they will be perfectly happy to leave it there. You aren’t inadvertently triggering something more than you can be bothered with like when spooning a human.

3. Cats don’t play mind games. If they’re pissed off and want some me time, they will make it clear with a very obvious hiss or scratch. And when they’re over it, they’ll come back for a hug and all is well again. Easy!

4. Cats DO snore, but their snoring is cute, rather than the snorting guy or girl slobbering beside you. In fact, a cat snore is more like a squeaky purr and you could listen to it for hours.

5. If a cat wants something, then they will ask for it. They will headbutt their dish or meow loudly and it is easily sortable. You don’t need to play guessing games or read between the lines.

6. Cats don’t hog the bathroom. They have their litter tray, you have your own toilet and everyone can live in freedom and harmony.

7. Cats are happy with any kind of stroke. There will never be a time when you’re doing it wrong or hitting the wrong spot. Phew!

8. Cats are clean creatures and instinctively self groom. Your partner is not guaranteed to be as self aware of their own hygiene. Is it a risk you want to take?

9. A cat sitting on your laptop presents a welcome and fun distraction. A partner hassling you when you’re busy is VERY annoying.

10. Cats like bonding time and love spending time playing. Ask your partner to sit and watch a programme with you that you like and you have a real battle on your hands.

11. Cats de-stress you. Science proves that just their presence can relieve your tension and a cat always knows when you’re feeling low and comes and cuddles you. A partner meanwhile can, more often than not, be the cause of the stress.

12. Cats are not clingy. You can leave them for an entire day and they won’t give you a hard time over where you’ve been, who you’ve been with or how you aren’t looking after their needs.

13. Cooking for a cat is a breeze. Tin opener + tin of tuna = you being a God in their eyes.

14. Cats bring you plenty of gifts. In fact, more often than not, you can expect at least one per day. It doesn’t matter that it is a dead rodent; it’s the thought that counts.

Cat...or girlfriend?

Having tried them both, I will pick the cat, every time! :lol:

Great list, thanks for posting it Jazzy! :)
 
The cat will always win in my case. Maybe adopting one will change the way how I live life.
 
I cannot agree with this more cats come up tops all the time :D

Sounds like something that would be very good for you. Especially if you're lonely. Cats are so affectionate and loving. Plus they are tons of fun to play with.

I agree it is something you should possibly take a look at doing. @~KAGE-008 have you ever been around cats before then?
 
As much as I like cats I would choose a girl over a cat:hug:

But the idea of having a cat is also good for those who don't want relationships of any type.

Why would you not want a relationship in the long term, I get why after a bad relationship you would give it some time before embarking on a new one.

Because of the shit from the last two years. Not everyone is going to be happy with a significant other knowing that they've gone through traumatic things, which even though they're from the past, those still affect the way to live the remaining days.
 
There is someone out there for everyone, the trick is realising that at the correct time.
 
You may believe that at this point in time, but I hope it will change for you one day:good:
 
I have seen a diagram on FB that showed the spots cats like to be petted and where they don't, it was a joke, but still somewhat true lol.
 
Agreed. You don't have to deal with another human being, and cats are much fluffier and cuter.
