Caturday Post 14: Top 5 Reasons We Are Dedicated To Our Pets

Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner we figured we would fill this blog with lots of love for our animals.  Also, if you are a fellow Ontarian, much like SPA, you also know Family Day is not that far away too.  While both days are slightly different, they do have one commonality – they are filled with lots of love.

We decided to harness the extra love that is floating around in the air and decided to let you in on our top 5 reasons that we here at SPA love our cats so much!  Now from reading our previous posts we are sure that by now you have gathered how dedicated we are to our animals.  Although there are countless reasons we are so in love with animals, we are tired to narrow it down to our top 5 – so here goes!

one.

They’re so cute. But, seriously, have you seen them!

two.

They always land on their feet – and you can’t get much more optimistic than that!

three.

Cats are easy to take care of – but they love that we take care of them.

four.

There is no better feeling than unselfish love – hearing them purr because of you is the best. Even when you have to work for that reaction.

five.

Cats bring out the best in people.  People always smile when a cat shows them attention.
