NathanThey’re Chill
A cat would take about 18–20 hours to sleep on a normal day. The amount of downtime they need is unbelievable! Cats are one of the easiest going pets you will ever come across. They are perfect for one of those lazy Sundays when you just want to watch your favorite Netflix shows. A cat will just lie next to you and would not need much attention or attending.
They Love To Be Stroked
If you had a hectic day, having a cat would surely help you relax and unwind. Scientists have 3 reasons why stroking cats give you a feel-good sensation. The first point is that they help you maintain a positive relationship with an animal which ultimately gives you positivity. Second, your rhythmic petting will help the both you-you to relax. Thirdly, this activity helps you keep calm. The key areas for this lie between eyes and ears and chin and cheeks.
Releasing Love Hormone
This is another good reason why one needs a cat in their life. They have been scientifically proven to let “love hormone” be released in humans. This neurochemical is also known as oxytocin. This is a hormone that gets produced when one falls in love. Oxytocin elevates emotional perception too! You can say that cats are capable of therapy in this manner.
Physical & Mental Health Benefits
Cats are actually lifesavers…. Literally. This has been scientifically proven. Interaction with them can decrease the chances of heart attacks, it also lowers our blood pressure and helps in releasing dopamine and serotonin, that act as mood regulators. They are also capable to reduce stress and better our immune system. Who would have known that these furry friends would prove to be so helpful?
Cats Love Humans
Though they may seem indifferent at times, cats really do love us. We must keep in mind that they just have a very different approach in the way they show their affection. They are not like humans, they do not hug or wag their tails like dogs do. Cats rub themselves against you, will purr or meow to speak to you. Just make sure to cuddle with them whenever they need it…
