1. Space demand: Cats need less living space. They can move and rest in a small area without walking their dogs every day. Keeping a dog needs to consider the dog's activity space and ensure that they have enough outdoor activity time.
2. Feeding: Cats are carnivores. Generally speaking, they have a high demand for food, but compared with dog food, cat food has a longer shelf life and less purchases. Dogs need to be fed every day, and there are many kinds of dog food. It is necessary to choose the right dog food according to the age, health and activity of dogs.
3. Cleanliness: Cats pay more attention to personal hygiene. It is relatively easy to clean up by using their own litter pots. Dogs need to walk their dogs every day, and may need to solve their physiological needs at home, which requires more care and care from their owners.
4. Companionship: Cats are relatively independent, and they can play by themselves when their owners are not at home, without much companionship. Dogs need their owners' company and attention, especially in the puppy stage, and they need their owners' teaching and care.
5. Noise: Cats are quiet when they are active and playing, and don't make much noise. Dogs may make a lot of noise when they yell or bark, which may cause some interference to their neighbors.
Generally speaking, it is easier to keep a cat than a dog, but it also depends on the variety and personal preference of cats and dogs. Before keeping pets, please be sure to know their habits and needs, and make sure that you have enough time and energy to take care of them.
