Cats are good for mental health!
I call my lovely rescue cat, Aria, my Furry Prozac. And she is! There's nothing better than a snuggle and lick from my little darling.
And I'm not the only one who thinks so. A recent study found that cats "might not make you burst into song, but they'll take the edge off a bad day."
Of course, how could a sweet face like this not brighten your day?

Beautiful eyes!
And dogs are good, too.
It's interesting you posted about Aria, because I kept thinking how it had been awhile since we saw her beautiful, lovely face.
I grew up with cats and often miss having one. If I could have a cat, I'd have one in a heartbeat. Though they give something different psychologically from dogs, I love that about them.
Dogs are good, too. I agree.
I think cats really help the quieter part of you, while dogs go for the more social aspects.
Sometimes, my five furbabies were the only thing that kept me going during my eating disorder. I didn't care what I did to myself, but I worried about them and who would take care of them and what kind of life they'd lead if I were gone.
Rachel,
I made a vow to Aria after I got out of the hospital the last time, that I would never leave her like that again. And on the days when I don't want to eat, I just think of her and it helps to push me through.
I agree, cats are such wonderful therapy. Nothing makes me feel better after a tough day at work than a good cuddle with my kitty.
Your cat is gorgeous! I have 3 cats; They help me so much. There's nothing like a cat on the tummy to help an upset stomach after a meal =]
Indeed, there is nothing like a cat on the tummy to make you feel better.
Until, of course, she decides that your lower abdomen housing (among other things) a *very* full bladder makes a wonderful springboard to leap from when she spies a bug.
I know, Aria. I love you, too. :)
A snuggle with "Miss Aria" always brightens my day. She's a beauty, all right!!
