Man's best friend is … his cat

Man's best friend doesn't have to be a dog. These days so many people wanting a pet decide to go for a cat as they are very often not as high maintenance as a dog.

Do not walk, they can be left out of the house for hours at a time, and are small enough to hide in bed at night without disturbing sleep there - that is, when he put on his head decides.

Cats may also rewarding as dogs, and there is much talk that the removal of a cat curled up on the hot leg can be very relaxing and healing.
