Kitty love.

This might be the best health news we’ve heard all week: Cats are good for your heart. In a study of over 4,000 volunteers previously published in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Neurology, researchers found that owning a cat was linked to a 40 per cent lower risk of suffering from a fatal heart attack.

What’s more, non-cat owners were also 30 percent likelier to die of other cardiovascular-related diseases, such as stroke or heart failure. Researchers think that having a feline friend helps reduce stress and anxiety for a happier ticker. We totally agree!
