Cats- Man’s Best Friend

Ah, yes. The age old question- Which common household pet is superior? Typically, people hold a strong stance on either side, although some are indifferent and others prefer birds or something. However, obviously cats are the best. Hold on, sit down, dog lovers. I can hear you practically scrambling out of your chair, preemptively writing a comeback argument. And that’s fine! But just read and look over my reasons why before you type “Dogs are totally 100 PLUS 20 percent better! Dogs deserve an A++!!” In my opinion, cats are better for three main reasons; They are self sustainable, quiet, and small.

Cats, compared to dogs, are self sustainable once they reach a certain age. You don’t have to let them in or out (Unless it’s an outdoor cat), and you don’t have to feed them every day. if you get a cat feeder and fill it with dry food, they can eat whenever they’re hungry.

Cats are also considerably quieter. Whenever you have guests over, you don’t see your cat jumping all over them. With dogs, that desk is probably going to get tackled, or at least get jumped on. They’ll also bark a lot, and generally make a lot of noise. Cats will stay quiet, and observe from afar, only approaching after some of the general commotion has died down.

Additionally, cats are better for people in apartments, due to their small size and general quietness. Even in a small apartment room, cats can find various ways to entertain themselves and not make too much noise- Assuming you’ve provided toys and the like for them, so that the cat doesn’t find entertainment out of tearing down your curtains. There are lots of toys that are sure to keep your little tiger entertained, many of which are at a reasonable price! My cats, Finnegan and Chase, are both rather active and playful. They really like the feather fishing-rod things, although they quickly eat the feather.

So there you have it- Now, dog lovers, you can release you reasons on why dogs are infinitely better than cats. Although I’m very sure they won’t convince me that dogs are better.

No More Toyz?

If you have lived in Cheshire during a part of your childhood, then you have probably been to Toyz Toy Store. Located in the Watch Factory Shops, it was the only toy store in Cheshire. But sadly, all good things have must come to an end. This past Wednesday the owners, Bill and Anne DeFusco, delivered the sad news that Toyz was going to be closing.

Now, you’re probably thinking, “This doesn’t concern me, I haven’t been there in years!” But…think back to every birthday party you attended when you were younger. Amongst all of the presents, there was probably at least one with a bright ribbon attached with a Toyz sticker. With the closing of this beloved store, it makes you realize you need to appreciate things while they are still here, before they are gone. Toyz Toy Store was the go-to place for birthday presents, crazy fads like SillyBandz and Webkinz, and numerous other toys. Although we may not have the Toyz, we will forever hold the memorie
