Cats are awesome. You already know that. But did you know that owning a cat could be the healthiest thing you do all year?

Science has proved that owning a cat helps you to keep a healthy heart by lowering levels of Triglyceride and Cholesterol – two nasty chemicals known to cause heart attacks. Not only this, their purrs can help you heal faster, cats decrease your chances of developing allergies, they help people fight off stress, and so much more!
