Doctors partially agree that the influence of cats on human well-being should not be underestimated.

And it's not just that these animals transmit some diseases to people. It's just the opposite. The benefits of having a cat in the house are really tangible and do not consist of just positive energy and other metaphysics.

Doctors believe that in some cases pets replace medicine for people.

Thus, researchers at the University of California have proven that a cat’s purr is not just a wide-range sound.

These are waves that have an extremely beneficial effect on the human psyche.

Purring not only calms your nerves, but can also lower your blood pressure.

In this regard, the experiment demonstrated a positive result even without the participation of the cat.

Volunteers were simply played an audio recording of a cat purring.

Further, doctors noted improvements in the nervous system, heart and vascular function.

It is noted that direct contact with the animal was excluded, and the beneficial effect on the person was exerted exclusively by sound.
