It's true that cats value their independence a bit more than their canine counterparts. But if you've ever been around cats before, you already know they actually crave and require love and companionship.
Cats make wonderful pets.
Because they're less demanding, they can easily adjust to a variety of lifestyles and living spaces. Every cat is a true individual, though, so it's important to take the time to choose a four-footed friend who's right for you. Choose a Personality. Stroll past a few cat cages at the shelter, and you'll notice that some cats meow for special attention, while others simply lie back and gaze at you with an air of arrogance. There are as many different personalities of cats as there are cats in the shelter.
