As for cats and their owners, both enjoy an unspeakable bond that gives so much contentment when the owner and the cat plays together. Research has also shown that owning a pet can have measurable health benefits.International research has shown that adults and children are more relaxed in the presence of a friendly dog or cat and that pet owners suffer less minor health problems such as headaches, backaches, colds and flue, insomnia and general tiredness than non pet owners.
