Raising a cat makes everything better. Yes, even you.

We always say here that cats make everything better. Just think of literally anything you experience - and then imagine it with a cat. Already better, right?

Let's say you plan a summer hiking trip - beautiful landscapes, rewarding walking routes, and good sleeping arrangements. Now imagine all of that with a cat on a leash - so much better. Think of how you relax at home after a hard day at work - lounging on the couch with a yummy snack, scrolling through some brainless social media posts, and literally doing nothing. Now imagine a cat on your lap, curled up and purring - much better! Now think of the last friends' dinner you hosted - laughter, good food, and good company. Now imagine your cat being absolutely adorable from all the attention and love he's getting from everyone.

And because cats make literally everything better, then by extension - they make people better. Specifically, the ones who raise them as their cat children, their humans. Having a cat makes you a better person for a few reasons:

First of all, you care for another. It's well researched that when we give from ourselves to someone else (be it a human or an animal), we gain a good feeling in return, at the minimum. Secondly, when you specifically care for a cat, you gain their trust, which makes them show you love. Cats are notorious for not giving their trust easily, but if you're one of the people who succeeded - you're about to experience a cat's love, which is the greatest in the world. And lastly, cats are the literal feline overlords of our lives, so if they grace you with their presence, you're already doing better than someone who doesn't get to experience that. The proximity of a cat alone is ameowzing. They really do make everything better.
