Why cats are so awesome!



You can never go wrong with buying a cat! They are cute and innocent. They have pointy ears (for the most part) and have whiskers with a cute button nose! Cats can be both lazy and playful animals depending on the breed of your cat you have purchased and their habits. Most cats are curious creatures and like to hide in tight small closed in areas whether it be a hole in the wall, or under a couch/furniture. This habit that just about all cats have is rather awesome and annoying when trying to find them. Cats do however have a reputation for their claws which are actually not that big of a deal because they can easily be clipped, I suggest doing it with a professional! Cats also how ever do not like baths, or water in general and when ever cats feel threatened they will usually run or put their claws out. You can usually tell when a cat is angry and ready to strike because its back as well as tail stick up in the air, along with their hair on their body. When ever cats do this you generally want to stay away from them if you want to avoid your skin being ripped up.


On a more happy mood, there is a picture of a cat and here are 10 interesting facts I found, and it will prove to you cats are awesome!
