Cat Owners Live Longer!

Ranked #10,936 in Pets & Animals, #282,439 overall

Not Only Do We Live Longer, we have that Very Special Relationship With a Healthy way of Life! This Lens Celebrates the FACT that when you need a little Pick-Me-Up, just pet one of the most puuurfect animals around! (Adopt A CAT!)

There have been many studies, conducted ALL over the world, that Cat Owners live Longer!

As a matter of fact, all pet owners benefit, slightly, from these studies.

Have you ever heard of Pet Therapy? Doctors will actually Prescribe Cats, and to a lesser degree other animals, to their patients to help them in their battle for companionship, as well as other conditions.
Research has shown that pets improve your mood and lower your blood pressure - sometimes better than special medications.

Being a Cat Owner can also stave loneliness and improve your sense of self worth. For senior citizens, especially those living alone, having a pet provides structured activities and responsibilities that can make them feel needed.

Pets add purpose to your life. Cats listen to you without criticism and petting that soft fur and hearing that purr can reduce stress sometimes better than human companions. So, helping a cat helps you, too.

Places like retirement homes and shelters for abused children take advantage of the healthy presence of Cats (and, I guess dogs,as well)

The Cat owners take a very pleasureable feeling from their Cats and, again, studies have shown physical health benefits as well as mental health benefits from Cat owner-ship!

You NEED to get in on this very special relationship!
