Pet Your Cat – It’s Good For Your Heart

We all need to take care of our hearts with regular exercise, a healthy diet and reduced stress levels. A great way to reduce those stress levels is to spend time with your four-legged BFF. A study by the University of Minnesota Stroke Institute noted a 30% reduction in risk for fatal heart attacks amongst cat owners. The lead researcher, Dr. Adnan Qureshi, theorized that the reduction in stress helped cat owners to have happier, healthier lives.  So give kitty lots of loving pets – it's good for you as well as them!
