Until recently, cats were hiding in their homes while dogs continued to take over the Internet. However, nowadays cats have achieved an indisputable place on the net. Kittens like Grumpty Cat, Lil Bub or KeyBoard Cat, among many others, who have their own Facebook, Twitter or even Instagram accounts. In addition, they can now be found in some coffee shops, such as La Gatoteca in Madrid, or in Neko Cafés in Japan.
Why the change? Is it possible that the cat is the pet of the future?
The independence of cats
Cats, unlike dogs, do not need to be watched 24 hours a day. They can be up to a week alone at home - as long as they have enough food and water - while the human family spends a few days on vacation, and also, they are better adapted to living in flats or apartments. Even so, according to data from the Affinity Foundation, 46% of Spanish households house a pet, and within that percentage, 36% have a cat.
It is little, since there is a lot of tendency to think that they are very surly animals, very antisocial, that they like a lot to be alone and not so much in company, but when he meets him he turns out to be the perfect friend, truth? 😉
Cats, the companions of life
Although it cannot be determined whether a person's lifestyle influences their choice of companion animal, a study published by the University of Texas states that people who prefer felines tend to enjoy solitude more.
Cats are incredible animals, they know how to make your day. By the way, although they tend to interact more with women, the reality is that if a person, be it a woman or a man, treats them well and gives them affection, the cat will not need much more to trust her.
Cats are magnificent beings that will surely continue to conquer human hearts.
