Cat ladies explain why cats are better than men

[Catherine]

Quote: Pets impose no conditions on their relationship and will love their humans completely, once the love bond has been established.

I think the need for unconditional love explains how we ended up with animals as pets in the first place. We wanted something in our lives. That just leaves the question of why animals want to be our pets. I can understand dogs choosing to be pets because dogs are really very nice. They like looking after us. Cats are harder to explain. They give us companionship, but in return we give them pampered lives. That makes sense. 
Animal companions make us feel better about ourselves and less anxious. That is a good thing. If everyone had pets it would be a good thing.

People who are unable to connect with people can still have someone special in their lives because they have a pet. It is just hard because pets don't live as long as us.
