Benefits of Cats

• Calming any anxiety/stress in your life

• Oxytocin (the love hormone and that internal nudge that makes you want to cuddle)

• A room filled with cats helps you live in the "meow"

• Lowers blood pressure

• Cats make wonderful muses, ask any artist who has a cat!

• A cat's purr is more than just gratifying... it's healing

• Cats act as wonderful social ice-breakers

• A cat will help you stop and see the beauty in the world, if you choose to gaze out the window with them

• Cats teach you to appreciate the moment. One minute they are content in your lap, the next they are racing from one end of the room to the next.
