Do you own a cat ?

Since as far back as I can remember , I have had a cat (or two) in my life. As Puff and Ching Ming got older and the real possibility of them leaving the world soon approached I knew that I would want need to get another cat . I just can’t imagine life without one .

I am thankful that we got Ariel " our newly adopted cat " when we did since it wasn't long after puff's death that Ching Ming died t0o . While she far from replaces my cats , she does bring me comfort when I am struck with a real sense of missing my long-time cat loves . I can't imagine having to grief without the comfort of another cat .

As it turns out , there are many (surprising) medical benefits from owing a cat . From m0od enhancement to heart health . Benefits , according to future medical there are at least 17 medical benefits fr0m owing a cat and here are 5 that I find especially Interesting :
