Cats too.... there's something very soothing about a cat on you, purring. But don't quote me saying that on a dog thread ;~D

Don't worry - we won't tell a soul.

I have worked in nursing homes for several years...at both nursing homes, where I spent the most time, we always had animals in the nursing home...one nursing home allowed residents to have small animals in their rooms(birds, usually), and then once a week, a visiting group came in with different animals...dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, gerbils, and even a sweet little miniature horse...then when people came to visit their families, they were encouraged to bring in their pets to visit with the seniors...and the workers at both places were also allowed to bring their pets to work with them, so long as the pets could pass the 'animal citizen' test...and both nursing homes had residents dogs, which actually lived at the nursing home..

And the senior residents absolutely loved this...many residents who were almost non responsive to humans, would perk right up and talk to the animals...it was always a win-win situation...the animals got loads of attention, and the residents got unconditional love...

Animals give their unconditional love, and make for better health...humans are lucky to have such wonderful companions...

Any thing I can do to help?

I've always known this was a stress reducer. (BTW, I didn't actually see your comment about cats, so there's no problem, LOL!)

"They make people happier, calmer and feel more loved.

I can vouch for that!
