Facts about cats

1. Your nervous system will be in order. A cat`s purring lowers stress levels and reduces feelings of anxiety and restlessness.

2. You`ll always have reliable support. In tough times, a cat helps you get through strong, heavy emotions like sadness, anger, and grief.

3. Your personal life will sort itself out. 70% of men unconditionally trust women who have cats.

4. You`ll become noticeably smarter. Communicating with such a complex animal as a cat raises your intelligence level and helps you quickly build contacts with other people.

5. You`ll go to the doctor less often. The healing properties of cats have been known for a long time. There`s even a medical field called `felinotherapy`, which studies the impact of these fluffy healers on the human body.

6. You`ll have a wonderful friend. Quite recently, scientists (but not British ones) found out that having a cat in the apartment is similar to living with a romantic partner. Cats know how to give love and tenderness.

7. You`ll prove your kindness. Cats know who they can trust and prefer only decent people.

8. Your sleep schedule will become normal. A long-proven fact – a woman rests much better if a cat is sleeping on the pillow next to her instead of a romantic partner.

9. Your children won`t have allergies. Cats amazingly strengthen the immunity of young children and prevent allergic reactions and asthma from developing.

10. A cat can save your life. There are many known cases where cats detected a fire or gas leak much earlier than their owners, made noise, and thus saved the whole family.

Cats also like to catch all sorts of small rodents that scare housewives. Even if there are no extra creatures in your apartment, a cat can always occupy itself by catching a moth, fly, or beetle.

For a cat to benefit its owner, the cat must feel good at home without question. So take care of your cat, look after it, and treat it with love. It will give you all the love it`s capable of, and believe us, there`s more than enough love in such a small heart.
