'What's your #1 reason for owning a cat?': Feline Fanatics Let the Wholesome Cat Out of the Bag on Why They Can't Live Without Their Furry Friends

Let's be real - people get dogs because they want attention. But people who get cats, get them for all sorts of reasons. Some seem to have the cat distribution system on speed dial, some want companionship, and others just want to have a tiny cute criminal in their house, committing all sorts of adorable acts. Whatever your reason, though, we're glad you drank the Kool-Aid and are now a part of the feline family.

Purrsonally, we adopted our cats because we wanted to be able to travel, but still have someone at home waiting for us to come home to. You can't do that with a dog. We found a pawsitively wholesome thread on Reddit where users let the wholesome cat out of the bag on what their #1 reason is for owning a cat, and the answers are just purrfect. Some are seriously silly, some are terrifically touching, and others are sure to warm your heart. Scroll down to read them all for yourself!

If there is one thing our cats are good at, it's eating cheese. They are Munster maniacs. Cheddar carnivores. Gouda gulpers. You get the picture. How else would we eat so much cheese without them?

One of our cats is a lifeguard cat. She watches over us every time we shower - screaming the whole time. It's actually quite relaxing. Like a choir of meows as the soundtrack to our shower symphony.
