    If you have more cats, does the risk go down even more? With 8 cats, I could have little to no chance of a heart attack!

    Hmmm - either it's because they steal our hearts so that we can't damage them, or maybe they loan us a couple of those 9 lives?

    Love, Columbine

    The beneficial effects of having a cat, or any pet, have been proven many times. When someone is petting a cat, blood pressure goes down as does stress levels. My Mom is in a nursing home and a few times a month a group brings kitties and dogs to visit the residents. The residents love it when one of the dogs comes up to lick their face or a kitty jumps in their lap purring and wanting to be petted. And of course the pets absolutely love all the attention they recieve. A local hospital even allows patients to be visited by their pets! How great is that?

    This is great news!!! I already knew that owning an animal would help lower your blood pressure and stress levels. Both of my parents have high blood pressure and they've owned cats before but haven't for quite a long time now. Maybe I should e-mail them this study.
