Halloween is fast approaching – why not get your sweet kitty something new to wear to help you hand out candy to the neighborhood children, or pick up a new toy or two to get them into the Haloween spirit!

Let’s show our feline friends some love and buy something to make their lives a little easier, happier, and – let’s face it – more fun! Also, some of these help us as cat parents too!

Cats are affectionate, sweet, and fiercely independent.  They can also provide multiple benefits – to your life and to your health! Below are six benefits to owning a cat. 

Whether you have children already and are thinking of buying or getting a little kitty or you have a cat and just found out you’re having a baby – children and cats can live and love and grow together.

There are a lot of important things to think about before picking your new cat.  Unlike dogs, most cats are the same basic shape and size but breed, personality, and the make-up of your home and family should all be considerations. Asking yourself some basic questions and thinking through things before seeking out a new friend should help.
