Veterinarian: Having owned a cat for more than 10 years, you are very different from ordinary people!
This is because having a cat can help relieve stress, depression, loneliness, and make people more mentally healthy. Moreover, when people pet cats, the brain will secrete dopamine, which makes people feel happy, and when they hear the cat's purring, they will also feel very healing.
The research team at the University of Minnesota in the United States did a 10-year study on about 4,000 people, and in order to make the data more accurate, the ratio of men to women was close to 1:1, and the results showed that having a cat can reduce the chance of heart attack, reducing it by about one-third, which also proves that having a cat is good for people's hearts.
In addition, there is a study that asked the tester to pet the cat for 18 minutes, and the results found that the level of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the tester's saliva increased significantly, which proves that the tester's immune function is greatly improved after petting the cat, so a short contact with the cat can activate the human disease defense system, so having a cat can enhance people's immunity!
There are also many studies that show that having a cat is good for people's physical and mental health, so if you have a cat for more than 10 years, you are very different from ordinary people, which is also what veterinarians say, don't believe it!
Of course, there are many benefits to having a cat, and many of them are scientifically proven. But there are two sides to everything, don't impulsively raise a cat because of the benefits of having a cat, you can't ignore that there are also disadvantages to having a cat.
If you want to raise a cat, you must understand the disadvantages of raising a cat, be able to accept re-raising, and once you have it, you must be responsible for the cat to the end!
The "disadvantages" of having a cat:
1. Cats will be very sad when they leave, cats can not accompany the owner for a long time, their life span is only more than ten years, when the cat leaves, it will make the owner very sad, so raising a cat is to plant the seeds of sadness for yourself.
2. Having a cat = losing freedom; after having a cat, you can't be as free as before, because you will be inseparable from the cat, and there are a lot of trivial things to do every day, and the entertainment and social time will be reduced.
3. Raising cats is very expensive; after raising cats, there are fixed expenses every month, plus cats will also get sick, and more serious cases need to spend a lot of money to treat, so raising cats is also very expensive.
4. Cats will be naughty and mischievous; cats will parkour and dismantle the house at home, and often be naughty, which will cause a lot of trouble to the owner and bring losses. If you have a cat, it is recommended to train it with a snack reward to make the cat well-behaved!
5. Cats poop is very smelly; after raising a cat, you will find that the cat's poop is really smelly, every time it is pooping, there is no way to treat people at home, and you have to shovel every day with a foul smell!
6. Cats have serious hair loss, cats with hair are going to lose hair, and after raising cats, cat hair is flying all over the house, and even the bed and body are covered with cat hair. If you want to improve your cat's shedding, you need to brush it frequently and choose a cat food that contains fish oil.
