When I first heard about cat cafes I admit that I've laughed and though it was I really crazy idea. Originated in Taiwan in 1998, the concept rapidly spread in Japan and from there slowly but steadily to the rest of the world. Nowadays sure you'll find one in your nearest city!
Cat cafes offering purr-fect coffee breaks
There are many stories of cats as healers. Research shows that simply petting a cat can lower your blood pressure. Therapy cats who visit nursing homes and bring peace and joy to patients.
Research has even shown that the frequency of a cat’s purr can aid with healing of bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles as well as provide pain relief.
There’s certainly some mystery as to exactly how cats manage to be good for our health, but the facts is that cat's do help lower stress symptoms and their purring vibrations really heal!
