Cats are extremely useful animals. Owners of cats live longer and less often are ill, have a stress better. Pets save them from natural cataclysms, help to observe a day regimen and to keep order in the house. How do cats manage to do it?
Mystical guard
Admirers mystics consider that cats the fact of the presence "improve" the atmosphere of the house. In folk beliefs it is considered that at cats the special relations with spirits of the house – brownies. They patronize cats having a tail and therefore they protect the house from troubles and unwanted guests. It is one of the reasons for which the first the cat has to enter the new house.
Also parapsychologists adhere to the similar point of view, only the mechanism of impact of a cat on apartment space from their point of view is arranged in a different way: it is supposed that cats feel power of surrounding objects and "clean" it and also can neutralize consequences a vzaimodeysviya with negative biofields. Also it is considered that if the owner got sick – the cat can absorb in herself energy of a disease, having facilitated thereby a condition of the person.
Family doctor
However, not only parapsychologists speak about medical impact of a cat on the person. That "kototerapiya" – piece effective, many made sure. Cats treat people – and in several ways at once.
It is considered that purring of cats affects the person practically the same as an infrasound, only at other frequencies (4-16 Hz). And such "the physical therapy at home" sposobsvut to strengthening of bones, skin regeneration and also strengthens immunity. Besides, when the cat comes "to pourchat" near the person, his organism adapts to a purring rhythm. Breath is as a result normalized, stress is reduced, the mood increases, the dream is normalized. As result – the cumulative improving effect.
Secondly, body temperature at cats is couple degrees higher, than at the person. Therefore when the fluffy lump sits on a breast or a stomach – something turns out like a compress. The cat warms up sore points that really treats.
In recent years a number of the researches devoted to the state of health of kotovladelets and advantage of cats for health was conducted. Also it became clear that at kotovladelets the risk of death from heart attack or other diseases of a cardiovascular system is 30% less, than at those who do not communicate with cats reshulyarno, they have diseases easier and are quicker restored after them. So it turns out that cats treat diseases of people, acting as the family doctor of a wide profile.
Free psychotherapist
As showed the same researches, owners of cats also on average cope with a stress and crisis situations better. And there is no wonder – not only that cat's treatment strengthens an organism in general, communication with these amusing animals in itself affects the person as antidepressant. Autists communicate with cats even what to speak about the ordinary closed or lonely people. Interaction with a cat allows them to relax, give vent to emotions – and it is already good.
Communication with a cat, observation of her tricks, stroking of a soft hair weakens, adjusts on an optimistic harmony, removes stress. From all representatives of fauna the similar effect on the person is rendered only by dogs. So the advantage of cats for mentality of the person is undoubted.
Living system of safety
Cats are excellent security guards. And, though rescue from mice and rats for residents of the modern cities most often not especially relevant, cats continue to struggle with uninvited guests. They will banish pigeons from a balcony and windowsills, will not allow to get on the territory a vagrant animal, and some cats even with success exterminate flies and other insects.
But it is not the only function of cats as a security system. They are much more sensitive than people. And, if cats feel that the house is threatened by danger (the coming earthquake, gas leak, smoke from the beginning fire in the neighboring apartment, etc.) – a cat begins to show strong concern and seeks to leave the apartment by all means. Sometimes in such situations of a cat awake the sleeping owners – and by that save them lives.
By the way, according to the statements of the German gerontologists, owners of cats live on average for 10 years longer than those who do not hold the house of such animals. And, perhaps, put not only in the revitalizing effect, but also in protection against emergency situations.
Persistent alarm clock
Cats and for those who hardly get up in the morning become invaluable assistants. These animals – excellent, and very persistent alarm clocks, and in their arsenal a huge number of means for awakening of owners. If family members get up in the morning at the same time – cats usually quickly get used to the set day regimen and begin active actions on a reveille along with the alarm clock, or being ahead of him by a couple of minutes.
However, the aspiration of cats to awake owners in the mornings sometimes brings also troubles – to many cats difficultly to catch a difference between everyday life and day off when it would be possible to have a sleep longer. But some after all manage it – and then cats awake owners in strict accordance with operating or educational schedule.
Health control
Existence of the house of a cat (as well as the small child) often forces hosts to observe purity and an order. Unruly animals do not know the place team, like to run on the apartment and often misbehave, dropping ware or other objects on a floor – or spoil the papers left on a table. It quickly accustoms owners to remove fragile things on places, to remove superfluous from horizontal surfaces, to keep balls and threads only in a box for needlework and so on.
And at last, advantage of a cat that she is capable to put the end to the prolonged conflict of men and women of rather starting position of a seat of a toilet bowl. Many cats show huge interest in the water murmuring in a toilet bowl … and then at once becomes obvious that the toilet seat has to be lowered, and the cover – is closed. For purely sanitary reasons. So, and quarrels in family become less.
