I had a discussion with my brother. He told me that cats have no benefits. He loves cats, but I don't know why he said that. Cats make us laugh, they love us, they even hug us.They make us positive and happy. What other benefits do you know?

Cats are really good at keeping away certain creatures, better than dogs sometimes haha Besides, why do they need to have benefits? They are adorable and snuggly!

@dya80dya I adore both. I grew up more around dogs, but I still very much love cats

@DesirousDreamer I also had dogs, but I prefer cats. Dogs can be aggressive. I have a dog now outside and he is aggressive sometimes with cats or other dogs.

Yes, they add so much to make life pleasant. They can be a friend that spends a lot of time with us.

I agree. Sometimes they can be better friends than people.

From The Mummy, the movie - cats are guardians protecting us from the underworld.

@dya80dya I have one cat. Cat are good friends, but they still can't replace human.

I agree. Cats can be our friends if we don't have friends.

We probably release oxytocin when we pet them. Oxytocin is a cortisol (stress hormone) suppressant. So cats may be good for our health (if we're not allergic) and cognition.

They help you chill and relax and are very independent.

My father doesn't let me enjoy the cats. I wish I could be relaxed. The kittens are in his yard and he doesn't stand them.
