The Healing Power of Pets

Good (healthy) news for pet owners:

Dog owners have 8% fewer doctor visits than pet-free individuals, while those who share their lives and homes with cats (notice we don’t humor ourselves by saying we own them) have to go to the doctor 12 % fewer times than the rest.

Furthermore, in stressful situations, people with pets have half the blood-pressure surge animal-less people do.

[From the book “The Healing Power of Pets” by Marty Becker, M.D., with Danielle Morton.]

• About

  Welcome to your cat's favorite blog. My name is Joi. As I'm typing this, one of my cats, Alexa, is on the desk in front of me, watching the letters appear on the screen. I guess that makes her the editor? My cats are my babies and I know that you feel the same about your's. This blog is all about the warm and wonderful relationship we have with our cats - a celebration of the fun and the love. I hope you enjoy reading the posts as much as I enjoy writing them! - Joi
