Having a pet at home doesn't just mean having a "pet" to look after. It means having a life partner, with whom we can relate without shame and without feeling judged, but who makes us feel important with his eyes and gestures and allows us to leave the bitterness behind.
That is why studies have been conducted on dogs and cats to prove the benefit they can bring to human life. Scientific studies have been published in the authoritative scientific journal "Circulation", including the "Pet Ownership and Cardiovascular Risk" which showed that those who suffer from cardiovascular disease or who are alone, by adopting a dog, live longer.
Today, by doing even more specific studies, it has been shown that cats could instead have more lasting and important beneficial effects than those who own a dog. A group of cardiologists led by Professor Andrea Macchi, director at the IRC clinic - Iseni Group decided to investigate the subject. They discovered, in fact, that stroking a feline promotes the release of oxytocin. Oxytocin is considered the hormone of happiness. being happy, you can more easily get rid of stress, which is a major cause of heart attack. Furthermore, stroking the hair has a positive effect on the heartbeat and blood pressure.
The owner of the cat has greater self-control, as the feline is notoriously more suspicious than the dog. So it was decided to start a series of cat adoptions, in support of people with cardiovascular problems. Professor Macchi also stated that this initiative has two pillars. The first is that cats are adopted from shelters so that they can finally find a family. The second is that cats will be able to give carefree and happy moments to sick people.
