The Storm Before The Calm

When you are having a bad day a fluffy animal could be the solution...... people always say that cats are the most smartest and intuitive animals out there. Their whiskers are sharp and eyes like a pointy realm. Calculating their next chaotic move. Knocking off an object on the table for attention. The comedic timing of sitting on your computer when you need to get work done. Problem solving skills like opening the door with a paw. Cats understand the good vibes and the bad vibes that their owner is projecting. Whenever you need a helping hand, they are ready to heal your bad mood. They also have ironic defiance such as demanding their food is changed if they don't like it, opening a door just to not enter and making sure you don't enter their territory. Cats are not a medical cure for human depression, however interacting with them can reduce stress hormones and the ease of feeling loneliness. Lowering cortisol and releasing feel-good hormones like

oxytocin. They provide routine; feeding and caring for a cat may give your day structure and purpose. They offer comfort when sad, their quiet presence can distract you from your negative thoughts and reduce isolation. Through the night they hunt their prey to protect their loved ones because their owner matters to them the most. The physical health benefits are the purr healing; a cats purr vibrates at a low frequency 20 to 150Hz that helps soothe the nervous system and release endorphins. Lowering blood pressure; cat owners often maintain lower heart rate and blood pressure during stressful daily tasks. Studies suggest that people who own cats have a lower risk of dying from heart attacks and strokes. Cats can make you feel at peace when life can be chaotic at times.
