Human love for cats has moved researchers to prove its effects on health, both physical and mental health. Launching the Berkeley University of California page, Tuesday, August 16, this effect is both mental and physical for cat lovers or ailurophiles.

Cat owners have better psychological health than people who don't have pets, according to research conducted in Australia. This research was published in 2015 by collecting questionnaire data. Cat owners claim to feel happier, more confident, sleep regularly, focus, and are able to deal with problems better.

Another study was conducted on children in Scotland. Children who bond strongly with cats have a higher quality of life. The more they bond, the more fit they feel, the more energetic, the more caring, and the less sad or lonely they are.

No human being is without problems and stress looms when life is full of stress. Cats running around in the living room, then interacting with various actions, can help relieve stress.

This is evidenced in a study on 120 married couples. Researchers observed how the couple responded to stress with heart rate and blood pressure monitors. Interestingly, cat owners were more likely to have lower heart rates and blood pressures and make fewer mathematical mistakes. They seem most calm and make few mistakes when their cat is around. In general, these findings also conclude that cat owners recover physiologically more quickly.

Cats can be reassuring, because they don't judge their owners when they have poor math skills. As explained by Karin Stammbach and Dennis Turner of the university of Zurich, cats can receive and provide comfort. That way can provide emotional support in stressful situations.

Research has found that cat owners are more socially sensitive, trust others more, and like people more than people who don't have pets. If you call yourself an ailurophile, you're more likely to think other people like you more than someone who doesn't think of yourself as a cat, or even dog lover.

"Positive feelings about dogs/cats can lead to positive feelings about other people, or vice versa," wrote Rose Perrine and Hannah Osbourne of Eastern Kentucky University. Add researchers from the UK, pets appear to act as 'social catalysts' that encourage social contact between humans.

In the study, researchers followed 4,435 people for 13 years and found people who had cats in the past were less likely to die of a heart attack than people who didn't have cats. Researchers point out that cats are more like a preventative 'cure' than a cure for an underlying disease.

Another study was conducted by James Sarpell of the University of Pennsylvania. Found that families who adopted cats for 10 months reported fewer complaints. They experience fewer headaches, backaches, and colds. Although this study was small in sample and correlational in nature, cats can provide excitement.
