When it comes to choosing between dogs and cats, usually there are two kinds of people. The ones that adore the friendly, loving, loyal, and sometimes overly excited nature of dogs and the ones that love playful, active but independent feline company. We cannot deny the fact that both of them have some amazingly unique traits that make us love them but at the same time, there are some things that we could easily live without. But that's normal, isn't it? However, this time, let's talk more about cute but independent felines!

As much as some of us adore feline company, we've probably heard phrases such as "cats are self-seeking, cats do not cling to nor care about their owners, cats are treacherous," and so on. But we know that none of this is true. They are by no means such things but are very loving and extremely friendly pets! But don't worry, we're not here to tell you that cats are better than dogs as the answer to which is better still remains unknown.

    We're here to show one extremely talented artist's illustrations that show how loving and friendly cats can be. Margherita Grasso is an illustrator and graphic designer currently living and working in Milan, Italy. She loves to represent the world around her with colors and humor focusing on details that can be noticed only by sharp eyes. And so, she uses her skills to show us the true colors of cats in coexistence with humans.

    Whether they're napping together with kids, playing with old cassette tapes while their loving owner is listening to music, enjoying family trips, or simply playing with other felines. In fact, all of Grasso illustrations are so cute that it could have easily come from the pages of a children's book!

    Now my tiny dog does this. If she wants to go out she'll pat me on the head until I wake up. Or admit to waking up...

    The last time I was at the vet was with my cat who had been attacked the night before, the last time I was at the vet was the day I found out why was acting different, the last time I was at the vet I was told my cat's livers were internally bleeding, the last time I was at the vet was when I decided that euthanising my cat was the best decision for her. And I am here to say that if anyone reads this, if you have a pet LISTEN CAREFULLY. I know it's hard to handle a death, but you HAVE to be strong. When a pet is being euthanised, the last thing it will do is look around for its loved ones and just stare at them. Imagine you were so sick that it was decided to pull the plug. Imagine dying, alone and surrounded by strangers when you KNOW for a fact that your family is outside the room, waiting for you to die. That's what it's like for an animal to be euthanised while being awake. Do. Not. Leave. The. Room. I'm sorry I got off topic, but I needed to get that off my chest, thank you.

    I just want you to know my beautiful cat Bubbles had to be put down and I can tell you for a fact that might be the saddest day of my life, but you do have to go through it. You are right, staying in the room the whole time is very important.

    Probably just annual checkups for all the non-human family members.

    The time that one of my cats was very sick was like my child was sick. I don't have human babies.

    My cats do this when I try to do my crunches and other floor exercises. Probably because they're tickled pink that I'm finally down on their level.

    My mom was taking her cat to the vet in a carrier and somehow Shadow got out of the carrier and up under her dash. When she opened the glovebox she could see him but he didn't come out. They had to remove her dash to get him out.

    always check out a suspicious box, but get an adult to help. Bad people abandon animals in boxes

    What's missing is mom or dad trying to eat that food with that audience intently watching every bite go from plate to mouth.
