Are Cats Good Companions for Idahoans Too? Cat-solutely!

You know Idaho is all about outdoor adventures and furry friendships. While dogs have been in the limelight, let's give a purr-fect shoutout to our feline friends today.

Sure, we're known for our dog-loving spirit, but let's not overlook the subtle magic cats bring. Maybe they don't hit the trails with you like dogs do (or maybe they do?) but they come with a lot of their own pros...

For example, some might actually hit the trails with you! Some might not. There are different kinds of cats for any lifestyle, but most of the time they're ready to come home and relax with you.

Here's the scoop: Cats are low-maintenance cuddle pros, adaptable to apartment life or wide-open spaces. (Which, these days, there are a lot more people in apartments and smaller living spaces.)

They'll not only give you the warm fuzzies and sometimes even help with pest control, but if you've had a stressful day, petting a cat when you wind down at night is like instant zen.

Boise, today's the day to support local and embrace cat-itude! At the time of writing this article, it's actually International Cat Day, and as you might already know, our local animal shelters are always filled with a bunch or adorable, adoptable cats.

Already got a furry friend at home? Today's your excuse to spoil 'em silly. New toys, comfy beds, and their favorite treats. Whether you're adopting a new whiskered buddy or pampering your current one, let's celebrate the joy these furballs bring to our lives.
