The Wisdom of Cats
How living with a 🐱 can benefit your mental health
-
“There are two means of refuge from the misery of life - music and cats.”
― Albert Schweitzer -
“I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul.”
― Jean Cocteau -
“I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them cats.”

Cats are loving and affectionate animals – despite having a reputation for being aloof and headstrong. Every cat is different, but for cat-people especially, we love and celebrate their unique personalities and idiosyncrasies. Little did we know, cats help our mental health just by being themselves. Their ability to reduce stress, offer companionship, heal with purrs, and offer their services as therapy animals makes them the ideal champions for mental health. So next time your cat rubs its body against you, give her a loving pat and thank her for her role in helping your mental health stay positive.
