What kind of pet should you keep? The cat school and the dog school are always arguing. Even the two editors in our little Meng often argue about whether it is better to keep a cat or a dog. Of course, the best choice is to keep cats and dogs together, but most people don't have this condition. What should they keep when they can only keep one kind of pet? Today, let me introduce the 10 benefits of keeping a cat. Who can convince you with the data! Let you be a cat's slave
。
First, raising a cat is more environmentally friendly
According to a 2009 Research Report by Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand, the carbon dioxide emissions from the production process of the dog's life-long feed are the same as that of the same large-scale car. Because cats eat less, the carbon emissions of cat food they eat are about the same as making an ordinary car. So from an environmental point of view, cats are better than dogs.
Second, it can soothe the soul
Many experiments have proved that the companion function of cats and dogs can help relieve the psychological pressure of their owners. Many patients with psychological problems will be advised by doctors to keep a pet and comfort their owners' mind through their company. Compared with the dog's company, the cat's specialty lies in listening to the owner's troubles. If you want to talk about your troubles, cats are a better choice!
Third, more attractive to the opposite sex
According to a study conducted by the British Cat Association, nearly 82% of women think that if a man has a pet, he will look more attractive, and 90% of them think that the man with a cat is very attractive. So it's very likely that you are one cat away from the happy life of having a girlfriend. Moreover, it is a good choice to use your own cat to open up a topic, which can also increase the success rate of chatting up.
Fourth, people with cats may be smarter
This is a controversial figure. In 2010, the University of Bristol in the UK calculated that after graduation, more people had cats than dogs. In addition, in 2014, the University of Wisconsin conducted an intelligence test on 600 students, and it was also concluded that cat owners are smarter than dog owners. But this question doesn't actually prove whether cats make smart people or smart people like cats.
Fifth, it's good for the heart
The University of Minnesota spent 10 years tracking and investigating about 4000 people, and finally came to the following conclusion. People with cats are 30% less likely to have a heart attack than people who don't have one. In fact, the incidence of heart disease is not only related to physiological reasons, but also related to psychological conditions. Cats can relieve the pressure of their owners, so it reduces the incidence of heart disease.
Sixth, you can enjoy your single life more
According to Australian statistics in 2003, cats are the best friends for women. What's more, many girls think that the satisfaction of cat company is the same as that of lover's company, and even think that cat can replace human partner. With cats, are you still afraid of being lonely and cold?
Let others have a preliminary understanding of your character
In people's subconscious, people think that most people who own dogs are outgoing and lively, like sports and contact with people; while people who keep cats are mostly quiet and introverted, but also have the characteristics of modesty and trustworthiness. Many people will think that pet owners are not bad people.
Eighth, help to improve sleep quality
According to a 2015 study by Mayo Clinic Center in the United States, about 41% of people think that having a pet as a companion will make them fall asleep more quickly. But at the same time, nearly 21% of people said that the quality of sleep would be affected by their pets sleeping nearby. The cat is allowed to go to bed the most pets, it can be said that the cat's company is the key to improve the quality of sleep.
Ninth, reduce the risk of allergy
In 2002, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) pointed out that if children were exposed to cats or pets before the age of one, the chances of developing asthma, pollinosis and other allergic phenomena would be greatly lower. There are also many cases of adults who have cured their sensitivities by keeping cats. But if you have a serious allergy, give up.
Tenth, it can save lives at a critical time
We have heard a lot about loyal dog owners, but in fact, there are stories about cat owners! Cats are naturally sensitive. Once there is a dangerous situation, they will sense it and remind their owners. There are also many stories about cats fighting with poisonous snakes in order to protect their owners. These things are hard to tell.
If there are friends who have been convinced by me, don't rush to find a cute cat to raise! Because keeping a cat is actually a very serious matter, and we need to be responsible for the cat's life. If you think clearly that you can afford a cat, please try your best to adopt instead of buying. After all, they are very much looking forward to having one
