Many people give cats a bad rap because of their perceived unfriendliness, especially when compared to dogs. But research shows that they make better pets than one may think. For one, cats prefer human interaction over food, as revealed by this 2017 study.

Another study revealed that having a cat could benefit its owner’s health. Researchers observed a lowered risk of heart disease among people with cats.
As veterinary pathologist Lawrence McGill explained to Medical News Today, one possible reason is that cats don’t require too much hands-on attention compared to dogs. It then leads to lower stress levels for the owner, which decreases the risk of cardiovascular issues.

A study from the Fauna Communications Research Institute in North Carolina found that a cat’s purring can be therapeutic for humans.
Researchers analyzed the purring frequencies of 45 different species of cats, which is between 20 to 50 hertz. The findings reveal that such frequencies are close to the range of ultrasound therapy.

A study conducted by Indiana University professor Jessica Gall Myrick found that simply looking at cat videos can improve one’s mood.
Some participants of her research reported feeling more “energetic” and “positive” after seeing a cat video online. Others had fewer negative emotions like anxiety, sadness, and annoyance.

Many people prefer having cats as pets because of how much cheaper they are to own and maintain.
According to the Southern Arizona Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Center, having a cat neutered or spayed can cost an average of $145. However, the cost for the same procedure for a dog can range between $190 to $220.

Cats are also better at helping eliminate common house pests, making them a favorite among many pet owners. They are natural hunters, primarily preying on rats, flies, moths, and roaches.

As pointed out by small-animal expert Christina Donelly, cats are also innately cleaner. Part of their instincts is to dig a small ditch and bury their droppings to hide their territory from potential predators.
Most pet owners will likely agree that having litter boxes is much more convenient than having to scoop up dog poop from the ground.
