Just wanted to share this wonderful information with everyone. An article in today's NYPost reports that cat owner's may be less likely to die of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases. Interestingly enough, dog owners do not have the same benefits!

 Here's the link so you can read it too -

I agree with this, as my cats calm me down and make me relaxed.
Kathryn E. Mar 16, 2008, 4:57pm EDT
Yep and less likely to have depression, too. Emotions are so powerful. We have two lovely kitty boys.

I believe it. Our cat has given us so much joy and pleasure. Thanks for the reaffirming article.

Yeah - I remember hearing about this on the radio. I have 3 kitties, so I guess I'll just die of old age. :P

do you suppose it's because cat's wake you up early in the morning to feed them?

That's great news. I'm glad I have my cat. She sure does bring us lots of joy.
Dana H. Mar 18, 2008, 11:02pm EDT
I have 4 - will I live 4 times as long?
Dana H. Mar 18, 2008, 11:04pm EDT
I think it's because they give us someone to talk to besides ourselves!
