Top 10 Reasons to Adopt a Cat
	10. No backyard or nearby park? No Problem! Cats do not need a large space to be comfortable. They are an ideal pet for studio, apartment and small home dwellers.		5. Overnight business trip? No kennel for me. I’ll stay home. Cats are independent creatures who can be left alone overnight with plenty of food, water and a clean litter box. We’ll play together when you get home. A present is always appreciated.
	9. Who needs to go for a walk? Not me! Cats do not need to be taken for daily walks in the cold, snow, rain, heat or humidity. They exercise themselves as they play. Cats should be inside-only cats.		4. Good things come in small packages. Cats are naturally small so they have small accessories: small carriers, small toys, small bowls, small collars and small bags of Purina ® cat food. If you don’t overfeed a cat, it will remain small too!
	8. I’m already housetrained! Mother cats teach their kittens to use a litter box at an early age. You won’t need newspapers and training pads throughout your home—only a tidy litter box.		3. Neat freak? Me too! Cats like to keep themselves very clean and tidy. Short-haired cats require little grooming.
	7. Play time anyone? All cats like to play, even if they are quite old. They like to play with toys, balls of string, people and other cats.		2. Friends , Friends, Friends Most cats make friends easily with adults and children. They also benefit from having a feline friend who can help burn off extra energy, curb loneliness during absences and act as pillows for one another.
	6. Stressful job? Long commute? I’ll help you unwind! Most cats like to be held and petted which can help relieve tension. When I start to purr, you’ll know we are both relaxed. I’m also a good listener and I’ll never tell anyone what you said about your boss.		1. Give a homeless cat a Second Chance for a loving home!
