Scientists Prove: Cats Are Beneficial for Heart Health

Contact with cats has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, said cardiologist M. Napoli.

According to a doctor, interacting with furry pets helps cope with stress, normalizes blood pressure and pulse. These effects positively impact the condition of the heart and blood vessels, the doctor emphasized.

American scientists reached a similar conclusion during their research. They found that cat owners have a lower likelihood of experiencing a heart attack. Additionally, having a pet reduces the risk of death from a heart attack.

Recently, British researchers discovered that cats are more likely to dislike their fellow felines than dogs. As specialists noted, the behavior of pets in a household with multiple cats depends on the compatibility of the animals, as well as the availability of water, food, litter boxes, and the overall density of the "cat population."
