What effort and cost? They're so cheap and easy to take care of. Maybe I'm being too generous since I am using dogs as a reference point.
Travel becomes a lot harder if you have a cat.
I see this all around me. People are fixated on careers, hobbies (FOMO), spread thin by family obligations and errands. The truth is, happiness does not derive from these things. This "busyness" is an invention. Life is simple, and happiness actually derives from having cats.

I'm allergic to cats. Pets also add complexity to life, e.g. when you want to go away for any length of time.
You can leave cats alone for a weekend without an supervision, just a bowl of food and some water.

This is funny because the most unhappy and anxious people I know are cat owners.

My friend did that. His cat ate all the food in a single sitting and was both fat and almost dead from not eating for two days.

We do up to about 6 or 7 days. I often joke I'm not responsible enough to own a dog, and if I was going to get a dog, I might as well just have kids. The idea of having to find a way to take care of the dog when you want to go out of town is definitely a little anxiety-producing.

If you aim lower.
There was a psychology research on how people even billionaire form a baseline similar to a homeless dude. All the stress, pressure you have is the same as everybody else and it will never change.
So the goal should be do whatever you enjoy while doing the minimum effort..
Of course this type of thinking would immediately hamper progress everywhere.
