The healing capabilities of the representatives in the animal kingdom have been known and appreciated since antiquity.
The experts today argue that animals have a more developed sense of smell than human, being able to detect changes in our health, which often do not even know. Also, animals feel when we are weak or have problems.
The first references to this type of therapy have been made in 1964, the American psychiatrist Boris Levinson, from experiments on children with communication impairments.
In fact, animal-therapy means a therapeutic use of animals - dogs, cats, horses, monkeys, fish or birds that may have an active role in improving health of human beings. Used as live drugs, the animals produce a relaxation much faster and without side effects, which does not happen if synthetic drugs are procured with prescription from the pharmacy.
Animal therapy is a perfectly normal practice, it is not from the paranormal nor do you need specialized studies to observe the behavior of your pet, dog or cat.
Who has a cat knows that she is very clean, graceful, stylish, comfortable, selfish, sly, lover of freedom, longevity. Cat still is a mystery animal world because they do not know to this day how manages to feel an earthquake or great variations in atmospheric pressure or how manages to return home to his master, from distances of tens or hundreds of kilometers.
Without having studies, cats feel when a man is sick and can be considered as some of the factors determining this negative energy in the body. No need to wonder if your cat want to sit in your lap, lie on the bed next to you or next to your head or neck. Do not banish her, be patient, leave her where she wants to stay, cat knows how much time has to stand near you and when to leave you alone.
If you want your cat to be really helpful, do not force her, do not obligate her to do what you want when you want. The cat is a moody animal, a stubborn and spoiled.
Be, however, be convinced that for ever will stay beside you.
She has a persuade act to help, in case you have a headache, sit down so that she can turn on her ability to reach your painful place but make her feel safe at the same time petting her.
How they show their affection ?!
From the moment you step into the house they greet you, want to stay by your side, they vocalize very often, want your attention, want to play around you, they will show you how much you mean to them ... my cats are checking me out all the time, they greet me every time, purring as soon as I touch them, they are a pleasure to live with them.
And these 2 are my hearts!
Love them & cherish them!
