Daily Cat Lesson #11: Are Cats Good for Your Health?

🐾 Daily Cat Lesson #11: Are Cats Good for Your Health?

Living with a cat may be good for more than just your mood.
Research has linked interacting and living with pets, including cats, with several benefits:

• 🐾 Less stress.
  Petting a friendly cat and simply spending quiet time together can help us relax and reduce feelings of stress.
• 🐾 Companionship.
  Cats provide company, routine and a comforting presence, especially for people who live alone.
• 🐾 A reason to slow down.
  Cats are remarkably good at doing absolutely nothing. Sit down with one for a while and somehow doing nothing starts to seem like a perfectly legitimate activity.
• 🐾 The power of touch.
  Petting an animal can be soothing, and that quiet physical contact may help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
• 🐾 Routine and purpose.
  Someone needs breakfast. Someone needs dinner. Someone has very strong opinions about when both should occur. Caring for an animal adds structure to the day.
• 🐾 More social connection.
  Cats give people something to talk about, laugh about, photograph and share. Cat people have a remarkable ability to find one another.
• 🐾 And then there's purring.
  The science around whether a cat's purr has direct healing effects on humans is still uncertain, but there's no question that sitting beside a peacefully purring cat can be wonderfully calming.

So perhaps these two aren't sitting around doing nothing.
They're providing wellness services!
