What non-cat lovers and others need too know is cats are great pets. The are loving, helpful and funny.

One reason why cats are great pets is because they are very loving. My cat, Muffin, is very loving and makes me feel better. I remember one time when I was scared to go to 4th grade. I was sitting on the couch thinking, "How will I stop worrying?" I was even more worried about who my teacher was going to be. So my cat, Muffins climed on to me and rubbed his forehead on me. After he had gotten off I felt much better to start 4th grade. A quote that says cats are great is this: "Cats are so loving. I really want one."-Nini He.

Cats are really great pets because they are helpful. When bugs or mice come in to your house, they can catch them without you having to do anything. A quote that proves this is:"I've seen cats catch rats."-Sally Nakazawa. Now here's a list of things cats catch: Gecko's, small lizards, mice, small rats, fly's and many more. I've seen my cat jump for fly's and gecko's many times. The things that make cats such great hunters are: They have better hearing and smelling and with their whiskers they can feel the difference in air pressure, they can walk with out making a single noise, They stalk their prey so well they can pounce on them! Cats are very talented at catching bugs and mice.

Cats are always being funny 24/7! They even make you laugh sometimes. One time my cat, Muffins kept on botheing me to play with him. "Meow". "Meow". He was pleeding for playtime. Finally I gave in, Got the string, and waved it unenthusiastically. "Muffins come and get it." I sang. His legs sprang up, arms gripping the air, and jaws wide open. But he missed and "plop" he fell right on his bottom! I giggled and laughed as he tried to get back up. Muffins is so funny sometimes. Cats are a great sorce of laughter!

Cats are such great pets. They are great when they are loving, helpful and funny. I think that cats are important because they are such great pets.
