Cats do for so much us — studies show they lower blood pressure, and anecdotal evidence reveals that they make great alarm clocks — we have decided to show our appreciation by putting together a list of our favorite things about cats. (And if you missed it, Oct. 29 was National Cat Day, a full 24-hour celebration of kitties that encourages the adoption of shelter cats.)
Here we go!
1.)
Cats truly make ideal companions. Adopt a kitty and you’ll never use the bathroom alone again.
2.)
Cats might not know just who made that mess, but they’ll examine all of the evidence for clues.

5.)
Cats will keep your seat warm — even if you only got up for a second.
6.)
If you have a cat, you’ll never have to drink alone.

Cats adore a good book. In fact, they love books so much they’ll often curl up on the pages while you’re reading them.
13.)
Cats know all about fashion. Do you think that sweater has enough fur on it? Luckily, your fur-baby won’t let you leave home without some furry reminders of his love for you.
14.)
Cats are also experts in the fine art of napping and can teach you to do catch some Zs pretty much anywhere.
15.)
And finally, cats give the best cuddles!
