          Cats Can Make the Best Pets

      There is no question that a pet can give you pleasure and amusement. There are millions of happy cat owners around the world today who believe that cats make the best pets.

      Cats are wonderful pets. Firstly, they make great companions because they are very playful. Secondly, they are easy to look after. They don't need much attention. What is more, they are cheap to keep because their food doesn't cost much.

      However, having a cat as a pet has its disadvantages. Firstly, you can't teach them to do tricks as they don't obey commands. Also, they can destroy your furniture because they need to sharpen their claws.

      In conclusion, I believe that despite these disadvantages, cats still make the best pets.
