GIVE THE GIFT OF LOVE

On the 4th of October the world will be celebrating world animal day. Let us celebrate together and give the gift of love and bring home your own furry friend today. Still not convinced, well here are 10 reasons why you should adopt a cat/dog.

1. CATS: Cats are easy to care for, they do not need to be walked and since they can hunt they need not to be fed to often. Cats need little attention and some play so that makes them the perfect pet for people with long work days and  small apartments.
2. DOGS: Scientific studies have shown that people who own dogs are less likely to become depressed and have lower levels of stress and higher self esteem levels.
3. CATS: Another reason cats are so easy to take care of, cats can bathe themselves and actually prefer to bathe themselves as they dislike water. Cats have rough tonuges that can get dirt off thier coat.
4. DOG: Most  adoption fees include spaying/neutering, vaccineand micro chips. So no need to visit the vet and spens hundreds of dollors on that when you can just pay the average adoption fee of 0-60$ instead. 
5. CATS: Although they are inexpensive and independent they are still quite cute and cuddly. Studies have shown that cats enjoy being pet in 4 spots like the underside of the chin and the base of the tail but avoid belly rubs!
6. DOGS: Specific breeds of dogs can act as a good protection system. They can warn you when someone might be trying to break in and attack when they do. Think of it as a furry alarm system.
7. CATS: Cats do not need to be potty trained. Cats naturally bury thier excrement and if given the decision to bury thier exrement or leave thier exrement where "other animals could potentially use it to track them" they will use the litter box.
8. DOGS: By adopting a dog you are helping to fight the on going problem, stray animals. Stray animals are a problem for both people and animals and by adopting that animal you are giving it a home with you instead of in a shelter or on the streets.
9. CATS: Cats spend about 15 hours a day sleeping which is perfect time for cuddling. Imagine this, you're on the couch under a blanket watching your favorite show and your cats comes over and curls up on your belly. A cute, warm, fuzzy purring pillow.
10. Cats and dogs are not only benificial towards you but you are saving that animals life by giving it a home where it can be loved and feel appriciated.
