Cats or dogs?

May 5, 2017 9:25pm CST
I want to give a pet to my mom as she lives alone and needs company. She loves animals and she'll be happy with either a dog or a cat, but I am not sure which one will suit her better (she's 65 and she's retired)

Probably a cat. Dogs are alot more work because of having to train them.

@Linda1234 thats why for an older person i think cats are better. Cause dogs you have to take for walks and what not. But not all cats are always lazy. My cat and one of my bfs cats likes to all run around half the days.

Cats are more preferable for her I guess as it requires less work

I wonder whether a cat will be a better choice because cats can take care of themselves. They are clean because they often clean themselves by paws. And they don't need you to walk out with them everyday. It shall be easier for your mom.

If she can manage to keep the cat from roaming around then cat would be the answer

anything which ever she likes, it depends upon her interest, so you should go according to her interest that makes her happy

Dogs must be walked, cats are more independent, it depends how active she is.

My mom loves both dogs and cats. But If your mom like quiet, she will enjoy the company of a cat. BUt if she's active and doesn't mind active lifestyle then get her a medium size or a toy dog.

Smaller lap dogs are great animals you do not have to worry about walking them as much as bigger dogs just letting them out to use the bathroom.

Dogs have more needs and require more attention. Cats let you have more freedom and flexibility in your daily life than dogs do.
