Nothing brightens a gloomy, lethargic day better than seeing an adorable image online. It could be a baby laughing, old couples being silly, or, in this case, funny cat memes. Even if you’re not a cat lover, you’re about to see photos that can turn a frown upside down. But this list may strike a chord if you are a feline parent. Scroll through these pictures and see what makes these furry creatures so lovable to many people. As veterinary pathologist Lawrence McGill explained to Medical News Today, one possible reason is that cats don’t require too much hands-on attention compared to dogs. It then leads to lower stress levels for the owner, which decreases the risk of cardiovascular issues. Researchers analyzed the purring frequencies of 45 different species of cats, which is between 20 to 50 hertz. The findings reveal that such frequencies are close to the range of ultrasound therapy. Some participants of her research reported feeling more “energetic” and “positive” after seeing a cat video online. Others had fewer negative emotions like anxiety, sadness, and annoyance. According to the Southern Arizona Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Center, having a cat neutered or spayed can cost an average of $145. However, the cost for the same procedure for a dog can range between $190 to $220. Most pet owners will likely agree that having litter boxes is much more convenient than having to scoop up dog poop from the ground. Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
