Cats make super pets for a number of reasons:

* Cats are affectionate (when they want to be!)
* Cats like to play (again when they want to!)
* They are very clean.
* They are very quiet.
* They do not need taken for walks.
* Cats can be left on their own for long periods.

Cats can live for fourteen years or more and so it is a big commitment and should not be made without serious discussions between all members of the family.
