Unlike dogs, cats can be left for hours while their owners work, though it’s advisable to spend at least a few days with a new kitten, to settle him in and supervise him. In addition, cats are small and do not require a large home or yard. In fact, most cats are just fine living entirely indoors, as long as they are given adequate opportunities to express their natural behaviors (hunting, climbing, scratching, etc.) indoors. Their size also ensures that kittens and cats can be picked up and carried easily—it’s far easier taking a cat to the vet than a reluctant St. Bernard dog, for example—they don’t require huge bowls of food, and they fit on a lap perfectly well for a cuddle! Kittens come in many colors and patterns, and, for those who would like even more choice, there are many pedigree breeds to choose from. There really is a kitten for almost every taste!
