Cats make good pets for older people because they are generally quiet and sedate animals. They do not need to be walked, and they do not require a lot of food. This is important for older people who may have less money to spare for pet food, and less energy to spend on entertaining a pet.
Cats can be quite companionable, curled up quietly on a chair or their owner's lap. They are often happy to spend most of their time indoors, and may be seen as less demanding than dogs.
