No matter how loyal and cuddly dogs are, cats just have a league of their own as far as being a pet goes. In the United States, there seems to be 12 million more cat owners than there are dog owners, which goes to say a lot about their companionship to humans.
But it is also true that cat owners do not actually do much research into owning cats when they welcome one inside their homes. Basing on its lifestyle, cat owners prefer feeding their pets accordingly and it has also been said that people usually prefer cats to dogs since they are low-maintenance pets.
