PETS & GROOMING
PETS & GROOMING
Most cats don't require or desire
constant attention, and you'll never
have to deal with guilt-inducing
puppy eyes.
They keep your house pest-free.
You're probably aware that cats enjoy
hunting rodents. However, they're
also natural insect killers, providing
the kind of home security. Many cats
like killing bugs like house flies and
spiders, almost as if they are being
compensated for it.
They have a long life spans. Parting
with your cherished pet is the most
traumatic part of pet ownership.
While you'll probably outlive a cat,
their longer lives mean you'll get to
spend more time with them—up to
20 years in some cases.

The health benefits of cats
While every pet can give a variety of
health benefits, there are several
advantages that are unique to cats. They
are able to:
Reduced anxiety and stress. Cat owners
are well aware of how a single session of
petting or playing with their cat can
transform a terrible day into a pleasant
one. A cat's purr can help soothe your
nervous system and lower your blood
pressure, according to scientific studies.
Improve your heart and circulatory
health. It has been claimed that cat
owners have a lower risk of heart disease
and stroke.
Prevent allergies. Cat hair is always
mentioned as one of the most common
allergens. If a child is exposed to cats
during their first few years of life, they
are more likely to develop an immune
system that can fight not only cat
allergies, but also other types of allergens.
Reduce feelings of loneliness. Cats make
great companion animals. They offer an
unconditional love that can be equal to or
sometimes even greater than to many
human friends and confidants.
