This New Year, Cats Protection suggests people roll all their resolutions into one by adopting a cat. Cats really are the perfect stress buster and one of the best antidotes for an increasingly stressed population. The UK's workforce is notoriously stressed with the longest working hours in Europe. Medical centres are reporting a steady increase in the incidence of work-related stress complaints. Every year, we see thousands of people from many different backgrounds whose lives have been greatly enhanced through rehoming a Cats Protection cat.
Cats can really work wonders.
Companionship, affection, stress relief, independence and a self-esteem boost are just some of the therapeutic and affordable benefits that feline therapy brings, according to Cats Protection. Numerous studies have shown that the animal-human bond provides positive physiological and psychological health benefits to humans. Cat owners commonly describe their pets as good company, funny, relaxing, undemanding, accepting, comforting and understanding. No wonder cats are the UK's number 1 pet.
