Or maybe… a Devon Rex? 10 arguments to convince a skeptical partner to welcome a cat"},"content":{"rendered":"

People who dream of a cat often get in touch with us – but their druga po\u0142\u00f3wka nie jest do ko\u0144ca przekonana<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually it is someone who had a dog in childhood or… never had contact with cats. Sometimes these are people who uleg\u0142y stereotypom<\/strong>: that cats are false, unattached, destroy everything and it is impossible to build a relationship with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

W rzeczywisto\u015bci many of these beliefs have nothing to do with real, conscious life with a cat<\/strong>. A szczeg\u00f3lnie – z kotem rasy Devon Rex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kot<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you are just such a couple – one person browsing kitten photos with a sparkle in their eye, and the other asking with a raised eyebrow \u201cand what do we need this for?\u201d – this guide is for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will see how the cat versus dog comparison stacks up and how to convince (try to convince) your other half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koty vs. psy – por\u00f3wnanie z \u017cycia codziennego<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We will start with what cats can be better (or \u201emore convenient\u201d) at than dogs \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Samodzielno\u015b\u0107 vs potrzeba ci\u0105g\u0142ej uwagi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dogs require daily walks, regardless of the weather or your mood, often several times a day (also in the morning, when we don't always feel like it). Cats – provided they have a suitably arranged environment – can keep themselves occupied and we don't have to walk them. This doesn't mean they don't need contact! But their independence is a huge plus for busy people or those who value flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Czysto\u015b\u0107 i higiena<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From an early age, a cat learns to use the litter box; by the time you collect it from our cattery, it is already trained. You don't have to take it outside, it won't leave „surprises” on the neighbour's lawn. Cats are also incredibly clean and spend a lot of time grooming. With proper care and good food – there is no „cat smell” in the home. In recent years, automatic self-cleaning litter boxes have also done a lot of good, and we only have to empty the bag once every few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Koszty utrzymania<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping a dog (especially a large one) is a bigger expense: larger food portions, training, a groomer, potentially more expensive veterinary care (larger doses of medication, more expensive procedures, tick treatments), walking accessories (leashes, clothes). Devons don't need „servicing” when it comes to their coat, and the „walking” costs disappear (we advise against taking them for walks). A cat is smaller and more economical in daily upkeep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Podr\u00f3\u017ce i zostawianie w domu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going away with a dog often means either a pet hotel, or the logistics of travelling together. A cat – especially a well-socialised one (you can read jak socjalizujemy koty u nas w hodowli<\/a>) – it can calmly stay home alone for the weekend (just providing it with more water and food). Plus if we go away for longer someone trusted can przychodzi\u0107 do nas do domu raz dziennie<\/strong> and that will also be OK (or even once every 2 days). The cat also does not suffer from a lack of walks, so the question of dumping such a responsibility on someone is out of the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. \u017bycie w mieszkaniu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us not fool ourselves – a big dog in a small flat is a challenge. Cats are usually much smaller, they adapt superbly to smaller spaces, and a Devon Rex can turn a studio flat into the coolest playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devon Rex – kot, kt\u00f3ry \u0142amie stereotypy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the classic image of a cat does not fully convince you, then a Devon Rex may surprise you additionally. These are cats that people often confuse with dogs (in terms of their character) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Chodz\u0105 za cz\u0142owiekiem jak pies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Literally. A Devon can follow you to the bathroom, wait outside the door, greet you at the threshold, sit on your shoulder, lie on your belly, squeeze under the duvet. It is a cat that chce by\u0107 blisko<\/em>. And it often chooses one person, whom it \u201eadopts\u201d as its human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Uwielbiaj\u0105 si\u0119 bawi\u0107<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only on their own – they happily bring a toy, learn to fetch, chase a little ball. They have loads of energy and a peculiar sense of humour. They are like crazy little house gremlins \u2013 light, funny, fast. Boredom? Not with a Devon! We will just add that Devons \u015bwietnie sprawdzaj\u0105 si\u0119 w parze<\/a>, both with a second Devon and with another animal! (we have such examples from the homes of our kittens).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Kochaj\u0105 ludzi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not cats that hide in corners. They like guests, they often push their way onto laps by themselves. A well-socialised Devon is a contact-loving, friendly and very affectionate cat. But beware – sometimes it is love to the full, without limits, very intense!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. S\u0105 delikatne i zwinne<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small, light, with soft wavy fur and a velvety touch. They do not destroy the space (in our cattery they are taught to use scratching posts), they are clean and gentle on their surroundings. They fit in perfectly in modern houses and flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Wygl\u0105d, kt\u00f3ry przyci\u0105ga uwag\u0119<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ears like a bat, eyes like an owl and a face like something out of a fairy tale (or an alien film :D). These are cats that catch the eye and make guests ask: \u201ewhat kind of little animal is that?!\u201d. A Devon doesn't resemble a typical cat – and that's exactly what often steals the hearts of those who weren't \u201ecat people\u201d before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
