Hi. Everybody should know the beautiful power of having a pet. When I feel
that purring, I imagine that I’m accepting energy from
my cats. This “purrenergy” in turn, energizes
me! Having those extra heartbeats around really makes a difference.

The
Power of Petting
From: Brad Kollus for
The Daily Cat
Numerous studies have demonstrated that petting a cat can improve a person's
psychological and physical health, including lowering blood pressure.
However, petting is a two-way street and it turns out that it also provides
medical benefits to your cat.
Veterinarians Andrea Looney and Anna Glazer, while at the Cornell Feline
Health Center, performed an experiment where they attached a tiny blood
pressure cuff to a cat's leg. After just five minutes of petting by a
person, the cat's blood pressure dropped 25 points!

Time to put up the Christmas tree? Make sure the
bottom branches have pet-safe ornaments -- cardboard or plastic
-- with no sharp edges and nothing that will break. Cover the water
dish you set the tree in, because pets can get sick if they drink
from it. If your cat likes to climb the tree, keep her away by scattering
pine cones around the base -- it's festive, seasonal, and best of
all, cats won't walk on them. |
