5 Reasons Your Cat Is Your Best Friend

What do you look for in a best friend? Most people want their best friend to be somebody to confine in when they're feeling down. Or someone who will always be by their side and love them no matter what happens in life. Today is National Best Friend Day, and while most of us have human best friends, we want to remind you on why your cat can also be your best friend.

1) Your cat always knows what to do when something is wrong.

When you're upset, sad, frustrated, angry or happy your cat knows what to do: Love on you. They will rub up against your leg, jump up and snuggle up on your lap, and let you give them as many hugs as you need to. Petting a kitty calms you down, feeling the affection your cat gives you brings you bliss and can make you feel better. When you need a hug and some love, your cat is willing to give it to you.

2) Cat's are low maintenance.

When it comes to your relationship with your cat, you can give a little and receive a lot. Put down food and water, provide a clean litter box, give them some attention every day, and they're all set. They will give you entertainment when they chase their toys, welcome you home daily and give you endless amount of love every second you live at home. Having a cat is easy, and the reward is great.

3) Cat's are always down for a slumber party.

No need for a girl's night in with your cat, she will always be down for a cuddle sesh in bed. Cats enjoy sleeping in bed with their humans, and will totally willing to lay next to you and listen to you talk all night. Having a cat means a slumber party every night.

4) Your cat will always give you attention.

There is no need to search for attention when it comes to your kitty. They will always be willing to love you. Hugs when your sad, welcoming you at the door, hoping up on the couch to watch tv, playing with your pen while you try to work, watching you outside through the window, the options are endless.

5) Your cat will always love you.

Who can you turn to if you made a huge mistake? Your best friend right? They won't judge you. Even if said something you shouldn't have said, got fired, totaled your car, broke the shower head off, burned dinner, forgot your anniversary, slammed the door against the wall and punctured it, failed your math exam, said something nasty about somebody else or texted your ex when you know you shouldn't have? Oh wait, your best human friend might yell at you for that... DO NOT WORRY! YOUR CAT WILL NOT! He doesn't care if you hit the garage door, called the neighbor a nasty name or forgot to pick up your kid on time. He will accept you, love you and let you cry it out with him. 

That's what best friends are for. 

So, wish your kitty a Happy Best Friend Day today! They do a lot for you, and you didn't even know it!
