If you're considering getting a cat but still have doubts and are worried you won't get along, you should learn about the positive impact cats can have on their owners' lives and the undeniable benefits of owning a cat. Perhaps after reading this, you'll immediately set out to find a furry friend.
An excellent healer
Cats are essentially excellent furry "doctors"—they always know if their owners are feeling unwell. A pet will lie down on the sore spot, and you'll immediately notice the pain gradually subside and eventually disappear altogether. This has been proven repeatedly by scientists. They've found that petting a cat for a few minutes every day normalizes blood pressure, eliminates headaches, relieves stress, and stabilizes heart function. This occurs because human skin is directly connected to the nervous system via nerve endings.
Furthermore, cats produce low-frequency currents thanks to their fine, soft fur. Low-frequency currents have long been used in traditional medicine. By targeting inflammation, they kill microbes. After numerous experiments, specialists have concluded that feline therapy is most effective in treating joint inflammation and gynecological conditions. For gynecological conditions, simply place your furry pet on your stomach and pet them for 5 minutes.
Cat purring also has therapeutic properties. The range of a cat's purr is similar to that of modern ultrasound, and it can improve cerebral circulation, normalize heart rate, and stabilize blood pressure. However, the therapeutic properties of females and males differ. Females are more effective in promoting the health of internal organs and the nervous system. Males, on the other hand, are beneficial for the "treatment" of osteochondrosis, arthrosis, and radiculitis.
The medicinal properties of cats are also divided according to the color of their fur:
- black ones help fight chronic fatigue;
- Gray-blue colors have a calming effect and neutralize nervous stress;
- red, tricolor and gray ones help with any illness;
- cream ones restore the owner’s energy;
- White ones treat diseases associated with metabolic disorders, and also cope well with all the above-mentioned diseases.
The best antidepressant
When you come home after work and just want to relax, unwind, and unwind, your pet will inevitably come to you to relieve the day's accumulated negativity and fatigue. The more you pet your cat, the sooner you'll feel better. Scientists say cats intuitively sense their owners' moods and feelings. So, if you're feeling overly tired or simply unwell, pet your kitty, and the fatigue will melt away.
He will love you, even if it is not noticeable at first glance.
Even if your cat looks down on you, demonstrating that they, not you, are truly the boss, it doesn't mean they don't love you. They're willing to forgive their owner absolutely anything—a silly name, an empty bowl, or an unscrupulous litter box. A cat will always support you and help relieve stress when you truly need it.
A clean pet
This animal is one of the cleanest; it loves cleanliness, so it constantly washes and grooms itself. Owners should keep the pet's litter box and bowls clean and brush its fur regularly, so no one will even notice a cat has arrived in your apartment.
An alarm clock that won't break
If you get up at a certain time every weekday, your pet will get used to that time, which is when they get their food. This will become a great alarm clock for you and prevent you from being late for work. However, be prepared for your cat to wake you up at the same time on the weekend, as your pet won't care whether it's a weekday or a weekend, and will ask for a tasty treat in its bowl at the same time every day.
These are far from all the benefits of living with a cat; in fact, there are many. Every animal, like humans, has its own individual character, which develops throughout its life. And if humans and pets can find common ground, living together won't be marred by unpleasant surprises like damaged furniture or a surprise in your slippers.
