Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008'Healthier hearts' for cat owners
Cat owners appear to have a much lower risk of dying from a heart attack than their feline-spurning counterparts, a study suggests. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7304393.stm -- Adrian > Cat owners appear to have a much lower risk of dying from a heart attack > than their feline-spurning counterparts, a study suggests. > http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7304393.stm > -- > Adrian Surprising really. We must all be too confused to have a heart attack, or maybe they nearly give us heart attacks so often it strengthens our hearts. Gives us a bit of practice.

KFC gives me so much practice for a heart attack every day. Is she just asleep or dead? Often it's hard to see the difference when she is *very* asleep and I am expecting that 22 is a very long life.

Dave was asleep in bed and I was in the living room when there was an almighty crash from the kitchen and two black streaks flew out of the kitchen and under the sofa. They must have been on the window sill and had knocked a vase and the paper towel holder off- luckily both landed in the sink and nothing was broken. But we both jumped and it took a few minutes for my heart to stop racing Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > Cat owners appear to have a much lower risk of dying from a heart attack > than their feline-spurning counterparts, a study suggests. > http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7304393.stm > > -- > Adrian Nice to know that all those heart attacks the cats give me probably won't kill me. ;) SignatureTheresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net > Cat owners appear to have a much lower risk of dying from a heart attack > than their feline-spurning counterparts, a study suggests. > http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7304393.stm Also, petting a cat (or dog) lowers your blood pressure. (Even though their antics may sometimes RAISE it.) :-)
