As I was writing an article on top 5 breeds of dogs to adopt, I knew I was going to write an article on Cats and today is the day I am writing about it. In this article I will be talking about my top 5 favorite species of cats to adopt. It’s completely personal and if some of you pet owners don’t see your fur baby in this list then I apologize. But do know that your pet is awesome, and all the pets are awesome.
I would like to take my time and quote this amazing quote by Theophile Gautier which reads “It is difficult to obtain the friendship of a cat. It is a philosophic animal… one that does not place its affections thoughtlessly.” And to all the cat lovers I can tell that nothing is more beautiful than loving your fur baby for their grace, beauty, independent personalities and many other attractive qualities. The fascination of cats is hard to define and thus choosing a right cat for as a companion is even harder and I hope this article will be helpful to everyone thinking of getting a feline friend. So lets dive into it and here are some of my favorite picks.
