i've read of a few studies that showed owning a cat can add a year or two+ to your lifespan just by their ability to relieve stress. No matter how angry I come home from work I just can't stay mad after my little fluffy gets in my lap and starts purring....

Zoey31609, I've also read that cat owners suffer from less health problems (I can't remember exact details). I agree that when my little lap cat Newt curls up on my knee I forget about any stress I may have had during the day.
Your cat is beautiful btw!

Having one cat or more gives one the opportunity to sit down for a while, pat a being who is warm and furry and feel at peace. Research has proven that patting a cat lowers one's blood pressure and heart rate.

Thus, cat owners are less likely to have heart attacks or other problems caused by stress.

A few years ago I suffered from depression and found that getting a furry companion was a good step forward in recovery. My cat knows how to make me stop crying. <3

I couldn't agree more.

Since last year that I started adopting cats (I now have 5 fully adopted and many others that I just feed), my psychosynthesis has tremendously improved. Whenever they join me to bed, I sleep better and hugging them is the best tranquilizer.
