Cats Give You Personal Space
Cats respect your privacy and let you have your personal space. [7] They require less attention and energy. They will let you relax after a long day without constantly being in your face. Even when they hang around you, they are generally less disruptive and are comfortable quietly sharing the same room with you.
Dogs are different. They crave attention, especially when they haven’t seen you for a while. They may follow you around the house constantly trying to get you to play with them. This is sometimes a good thing, but it can feel like too much if you are not in the mood or have work you have to focus on.
