Feeling Blah?

Gray rainy cold days are purrfect to embrace the power of petting.  Scientists report that people who pet their cats experience an increase in Theta waves, a brain wave pattern that shows a reduction in feelings of anxiety for both cat and petter!  Petting your cat for just a few minutes releases a healthy amount of positive biochemicals, those "feel good" hormones.  Our feline friends bring sunshine into our lives regardless of what the weather is so let's enjoy and nurture them.
