Cats have been objects of interest to people around the world for a long time. They were first worshipped and domesticated in Egypt before they were bred and exported overseas, where they became trustworthy companions and widely admired.
"The Cats" Broadway musical, is a good example of how these furry miracles can inspire artists of different eras.
Cats were played the central roles in literature chef d`oeuvres, such as "Master and Margarita" by L Tolstoy, Cats were irreplaceable companions for known figures like Sir Winston Churchill, where his cat Jock needed to be present at the table for any meal to begin.
Sir Isaac Newton created the cat door, or cat flap, so that his feline friends could come and go as they wished without letting too much light into his laboratory. Even though this device was invented in the 17th century, it is still in demand as the preferred way to allow a cat to have his freedom and access to the house at the same time.
Cats have even inspired scientists; Nikola Tesla ruminated about what electricity was while stroking his cat cat Macak while a child. Tesla was intrigued by the static and sparks that occurred as he stroked his friend and his curiosity ultimately led him to his groundbreaking findings in mechanical and electrical engineering.
Cat's gracious movements, the mesmerizing eyes and the hypnotizing purr are appealing to everyone. Today, there are many clubs of " Cat lovers" , cat clothing lines and elite grooming salons. People appreciate pets such as cats so much, that sometimes they go on shopping sprees just to please them and purchase items like the frontline plus for cats.
Cats may be lovely to look at but they are also very therapeutic and proffer health benefits to their owners and people who spend time with them. A study done in 2002 at the State University of New York (K, Allen, J. Blascovich, and W.B. Mendes) discovered that being exposed to a cat and petting a cat can significantly lower a person's blood pressure. The article was titled "Cardiovascular reactivity and the presence of pets friends and spouses: the truth about cats and dogs" contains ample evidence and support that cats can indeed reduce stress and be beneficial to a cat owner's health.
Cats are low maintenance, house animals, that is one of the reasons for their popularity in North America. According to a research conducted in 2007 by the American Veterinary Medical Association , there are over 82 million cats, kept as pets in the United States. According to Wikipedia , cats kept exclusively indoors, benefit from a longer life span. They are less exposed to bacteria and diseases, are safe from cat fight injuries and are not exposed to risks caused by motor vehicles. However keeping a cat indoors or letting it out, is a purely personal choice, that depends on many circumstances. However loving your cat is a must. We are responsible for those we take in. Let us not, let them down.
Sigmun Freud once said that "Time spend with a cat is never wasted.
