If you have limited indoor space, a busy lifestyle or simply want a more independent pet, you might be better suited to a cat rather than a dog. Although they don’t tend to show the boundless energy that dogs do, cats often prove to be more self-sufficient and make loving, affectionate, relaxing, and entertaining pets.
Dogs provide us with a sense of emotional well-being, thanks to the unconditional love they give, which is why they’re also great company and comfort for people who live alone. Owning a dog can help people to recover from personal trauma, such as bereavement.
