Healthier Heart

According to a 2008 study done by the University of Minnesota researchers, cat owners have a lower risk of heart attack. Another study followed in 2009 that showed that this group also has a lower risk of stroke.

Lower Stress

Cats are famous for their mid-day naps and if their owner joins them, chances are they will be less stressed, more productive, and more creative.
