Reasons to live with a cat:
I am a cat and dog fan, but this is a rave about cats:
- Research shows that having a cat can reduce loneliness and stress. Petting a cat for 10 minutes has shown to lower cortisol levels in students.
- Cats will keep you engaged, except when they’re napping. They are independent and inquisitive. They will rush to greet you when you return home, but they can also be aloof.
- They train us to recognize the signals they’re sending. They are affectionate and independent, all on their terms.
- Cats love to play, especially when hiding and being found, stalking and pouncing, and throwing and retrieving are involved.
- Cats sense when we are down and are very attentive.
