Why Animals Are Good For Your Health By Mc Ochs Lately, I have seen many articles about animals being "good for your health". Many nursing homes have cats and dogs brought in so that the residents can benefit from their presence. There has been documented proof that petting a cat lowers blood pressure and promotes a calming effect on the person who is giving the cat attention. Dogs are of course very helpful for those who need more exercise and walking a dog every day is an excellent way to tone your body and lift your spirits. I have cats myself and find them the most sensitive creatures.They are always beside me when I don't feel well,purring and trying their best to make me feel better.They are also very psychic,I believe. Most of my cats are abuse cases that I have taken in and have been traumatized by other people.Two were shot,one, when he was 12 weeks old! Another male cat,Sam,I found at the Humane Society.He had been in a cage for 4 years,and his one back leg is in a constantly stiff position.Whatever their case,I love them all the same. My cats are a source of unconditional love that I find amazing.They don't care what you look like,how old you are,or how much money you have,they love you for who you are! How many people can you say that about?

I can say those people are rare indeed.

I have four cats and a dog and agree that cats do reflect some kind of mystical connection between each other as well as towards humans. It's the way they stare and seem to see something in you that people rarely do. There is something therapeutic about their purring. As for dogs well I just think they love you for being their friend and by doing emanate good feelings about you that maybe you subconsciously pick up. Perhaps its something to do with us all needing to be loved?
Anyway I really enjoyed your article - you can probably tell.
