Tastes and colors, cats

Over the years I have had both dogs and cats as pets. Living with them has been pleasant and sometimes not so much, each one has its strengths and weaknesses, but being part of my flock, I accept them both with their pros and cons, but although I don't want to accept it I have my favorite, cats, which are very similar to their cousins the panthers, an animal I would like to have but it would not be a good idea because I would end up being their prized prey, so why not try with my little cat that looks like a panther but I know it won't try to eat me

Why do I like cats the most?

---

Because of their personality

---

I feel that their personality is the one that best suits me because of their independence, they are autonomous, being alone is part of their character, I like these characteristics because they don't need permanent attention, in spite of being together in the same space, we are not mixed up, each one is doing his own thing, I am currently raising a kitten and while I am working, he is playing or sleeping, he is playing or sleeping, Akito is in his world and I am in mine, this freedom that he offers me pleases me, he is quite silent, something that I value a lot, besides he doesn't occupy much space, so he is around jumping and exploring, although sometimes he tends to give me green hairs when he starts biting the cables of my electronic devices or when he escapes from home to go out to explore.

Another advantage of my cat is that he is not very affectionate, I like that, although he knows who his caregiver is and he has affection for me, although he does not show it much, that is perfect, because I am not one of those people who have a cat loaded everywhere, or petting him all the time, I think they have the right to their space and only when he comes to me looking for affection I pet him but we are not the mellow type because it is not my personality, contrary to my doggy friends who are more mellow and dependent on love.

---

---

Respect

---

Something that is clear to Akito, my cat, is that he respects my personal space, he is not one of those who climbs on the furniture or on my bed, it is a respectful and healthy coexistence, I respect his places and he respects mine, this is very nice because I do not have to be shaking hairs and although we do not want to accept these animals can transmit some diseases, but beyond that I think I am a little territorial especially with my bed. Hehehehe.

---

Cleanliness

---

Another of the qualities that I like the most about cats is that they are clean, they like cleanliness and sometimes they demand it, this is due to their instinct, I read that they hide their droppings in the sand as a way of survival because their smell can attract predators or fights with other cats for competition for territory, they still think they are constantly stalking and ensure their protection that way.

---

Natural repellents

---

Cats for their hunting qualities effectively control pests such as mice, cockroaches and others, this is a great benefit because we will not have annoying vermin at home which is a great help for me and my garden.
Another thing that makes me prefer cats to dogs is that they consume less proportion of food, while my dog eats half a kilo of rice with fish daily, my cat with a small portion of fish and rice is already satisfied, this is a great advantage, and if there were to be a hole in the stomach surely Akito with his instinct will look for prey to eat.

---

---

Well friends these are some of the qualities that make me prefer cats to dogs, this does not mean that I do not like dogs, but it does give them an advantage over them.
