If they find you in a great mood, they will bark excitedly and wave their tails. The vomit may leave stains on your carpet and furniture, and these are not the easiest stains to remove.ĭogs have well-developed instincts which allow them to accurately read the subtle body language of their owners.
You will have to clean up vomit and hairballs every now and then. Can throw-up occasionallyĬats may occasionally throw up due to illness, food poisoning, allergies, but also as part of their normal behaviour. I have pretty heavy allergies myself, and I can tell you that it’s nothing to sneeze at. Even if you are not allergic yourself, having a cat around can cause trouble for your family and friends when they come over. A significant percentage of people are allergic to cats. AllergiesĪnother unfortunate consequence of shedding is the allergic reaction that some people have. They will shed even more frequently when they are kept indoors all the time.Ĭertain breeds like the Sphynx are born almost completely hairless, so this could be an option worth looking into. This means you will have to vacuum your house more often. Like most animals, cats shed their hairs continually. With some effort, you can perfectly train your cat not to scratch furniture, and another thing that will help massively is picking the right scratch post. It’s really painful for them, and they need their claws for various things. There is another potential downside to their sharp claws: if you have furniture, there’s a chance it’s going to get scratched. Like humans, cats also have a darker side if you cross their boundaries, you could end up getting scratched or bitten. We calculated that the average cat will cost you just over $800 each year. They will need the occasional trip to the vet, and those are not cheap in most countries. That’s not to say keeping a cat can’t be expensive. Since a cat’s body is relatively small, the amount of food they need to eat each day is lower compared to most dog breeds. In financial terms, cats might be a better choice than dogs. And there are plenty of stories of cats who keep owners awake at night with their incessant meowing. For example, unspayed/unneutered indoor cats can become VERY loud if you don’t allow them to go outside. Their lack of expressiveness makes them an ideal pet for those people who prefer to live in silence. Even when in pain, a cat will do everything in its power not to draw any attention. Generally speaking, cats are very quiet animals.
And then she’s off to do her own cat things again! They are quiet animals
My own cat has her moments every so often, where she just wants to be with me and feel safe for a few minutes. This does not imply that indoor cats don’t have needs: most cats also have days where they want to play, cuddle and cozy up. On some days, they may even be perfectly content being left to roam the house and relax in various spots. While the need for attention and care can vary wildly among individual specimens and breeds, cats require significantly lower maintenance than dogs in many regards. Getting to spend more time with your pet is something that every pet owner will see as a benefit. With the average life span coming in at around 15 years (and in rare cases even up to two decades), cats live longer than dogs.
