      I loved all the valid points you made in this post. I agreed with the entire list and would add that Cats (dogs too) provide entertainment. Just take a moment and count the number of Facebook videos that have cats spooked by a cucumber. Watching your adult cat play with a toy until he notices you watching is fun. Catching your two cats touching noses or cuddling is endearing.
