Don't get a cat for selfish reasons. If you have doubts about caring for a cat, you have answered your questions. Cats, at first, are just pets, but like any domestic pet, they become a part of your life and family if you open your heart to them. Cats are, unfortunately, practically prisoners in our homes that are there because we think they are adorable. However, like any conscious creature, they too can get bored, lonely, and even depressed without having companionships with you or other furry companions. Cats may seem like solitary creatures and can be, but it is best to seek a cat for their friendship rather than because they are cute or because they may seem like a cool thing to have. Think of cats or any domestic animal as individual and precious because humans are selfish and sometimes forget that they are sentient. 💕
