Dogs and Cats

Dogs and cats both make great pets, but they are two very
different animals. Dogs have more energy than cats and can make
great companions for people who like to walk, run, or exercise.
Cats, however, are calmer and are not as energetic. While you
may not take a cat on a walk, they can be fun to pet while
watching television or lounging on the couch after a long day.
Dogs and cats both have fur, paws, and tails. They both like to
play with toys from time to time. You are more likely to find a dog
to play in the water than a cat because cats don’t like water as
much as dogs do. If you like to go to the lake to fish or the pool to swim, then you would
want to have a dog for a pet. But, if you are someone who likes
to stay at home and relax, then a cat is the pet for you.
