Having a good day? Kiss your cat. Having a bad day? Kiss your cat at least one million times.
Cats have a special way of boosting our moods. Going from zero to one hundred in the serotonin department isn't something most of us can pull off, especially in this crispy, cold, wintry slum. But when we're cuddling our cats in the warmth of the home, the rest of the world melts away. All that matters is the soft rumble of their purring bodies and the silent swishing of their sassy tail. Although we get scratched when the tummy touching quota has been exceeded, every cat lover will push the boundaries of petting to see if they can squeeze out one more morsel of delightful goodness.
Like a factory of feel-good vibes, cats bring us the joy and love we crave every day. All you need to do is crack open a can of wet food, wiggle a feather on a string, and scratch their little empty noggin, and you've got yourself a companion for life. Turns out, it's really quite simple to feel happy: Just pet a cat.
