8 Ways Cats Make Your Life Better

This post is part of a series brought to you by Mars Petcare, who is committed to making “a better world for pets.” I was compensated for this partnership, but all opinions are my own.

Our cat, Dobby, joined our family a year ago. None of us could imagine life without him. Cats make your life better.

You’ll never need an alarm clock again. Cats are more than willing to be sure you’re up early to feed them or at least shower them with the attention they deserve.

A cat will help you with your homework. Or sit on it so you have an excuse not to complete it.

A cat will make sure you don’t go on too long of a Netflix binge. Dobby smacks that button right below his nose when he’s tired of us watching tv.

A cat doesn’t want you to fold up all those mismatched socks any more than you want to match them.

A cat will check on you if you’re in that evil place he knows of as “the bathtub.”

Cats scoff at the idea of being compared to a guard dog, but they’re pretty willing guard cats, making sure nothing strange comes too close to their houses.

Cats also guard over their humans. Dobby tries to keep me from waking up his favorite cuddle friend.

Cats are more than willing to help you with your work. One of the best perks of being a work-at-home mom is my adorable co-worker.

We laugh at Dobby’s silly antics, but all of us love him. You can usually find him cuddled up with whichever family member is being still at the moment and if we’re all on the move, he’s curled up nearby. He’s part of the family.

Because we love our cat, we want the best for him. It’s why I’ve been thrilled to have worked with Mars Petcare this year, since they’re focused on ensuring pets live a better life.
