7 Rational Reasons Pets are Good for Your Mental Wellbeing

1. Reduce anxiety Stroking a cat is soothing and reduces the levels of anxiety hormones in our bloodstream. But more than that, looking at a beloved pet stimulates the release of the love-hormone, oxytocin. This is the same hormone a mother releases when looking at her baby, which promotes bonding and nurtures protective feelings.

Release of oxytocin produces physiological change in the body, which results in lowered feelings of anxiety and other crippling emotions, thus enabling people to function more normally.

2. Encourage Mindfulness Cats don’t like us dashing around and are more likely to settle on our lap when we are at peace. Cats encourage us to relax and live ‘in the moment’, enjoying the feel of their fur against our fingertips as we stroke them.

Mindfulness is in vogue at the moment, as shown by the rise in popularity of ‘mindfulness colouring’ and other pursuits. But stroking a cat, relaxing back to feel the vibration of that purr, remains one of the original and best ways of exercising mindfulness.

3. Reduce Loneliness A pet such as a cat provides companionship for those who work from home, are house bound, or have a limited social circle. Meeting their needs, such as feeding, grooming, and keeping a clean tray provide a structure to the day and give the carer a sense of worth, a reason to get up in the morning and perhaps even take care of themselves for the sake of the pet.

The cat also provides a topic for conversation and a mutual interest with other pet lovers, which in turn helps to connect people and reduce feelings of social isolation.

4. Diversion Therapy Depression and other mental illness have a horrible habit of becoming all consuming. When the mind is filled with black thoughts, these seem to squeeze out any moments of brightness, and the sufferer becomes caught in a downward spiral of negative thinking.

For those struggling with mental health issues, caring for a pet and returning their affection is a welcome distraction from the dark gloom of depression. The presence of another living being that is dependent on them, helps to divert attention from their inner turmoil. Even small things such as the cat returning affection with a purr, can throw a lifeline to a mentally distressed person.

5. Smile Therapy In the grips of depression there may seem very little to smile about. However, dangle a wing-on-a-string in front of a cat and it’s very difficult to keep a straight face. Simple things like playing with a pet promote feeling of calmness and happiness through the release of beneficial neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Again, when you enlist Mother Nature and get her armoury of feel-good hormones on your side, this helps lighten the gloom.

6. Unconditional Love When you can’t think straight and the world seems distorted, the one thing people can rely on is their pet. Be it a cat, dog, rabbit, or bird, our pets don’t judge and love us regardless of our appearance, wealth (or lack of it), or social status. For those people who feel adrift from society, a pet can be a valuable anchor and a reminder of uplifting emotions such as love.

Harley is constantly near me. She lays next to me on the couch, typically always touching, she likes to be close. Which leads me to my next point below.

2. Your Furbaby Likes to Come and Give you a Cuddle Even if they don’t want anything specific, like food or treats. Your furbaby will come up and just want a cuddle. It’s a token of affection in its simplest terms and to just enjoy your company.

If I’m working away on my laptop at my desk, Harley will just come up and give me a nudge, which implies she wants to be picked up for a big cuddle. Then she will happily go and lay on the bed or couch and wait for me to finish my work. It makes me smile and boosts my mood.

3. Engage in Playtime Your furbaby will bring over their toys to you and want to engage in playtime. They want to spend time one on one.

Bringing their toys over to you for a play indicates that they are comfortable with you in sharing their toys.

Harley loves to do this. She will go and choose a toy from her toy box then bring it over to me and place it on my lap and then stare at me, waiting for me to play with her.

If I’m watching TV and not concentrating on her, she will nudge me with her nose and remind me that she has brought her toy out for us to play.

4. Greets You at the Door The nature of this affection is one of the most recognisable signs that your furbaby loves you. When you return home and they are waiting for you at the door. Acting super excited, like you’ve been away for months and months, even though in reality you may have just gone down the road for milk and bread.

Even if your furbaby may have been sleeping and just woke up, and they are approaching you with a wagging tail is a true sign that they are happy to see you.

6. Protective Being protective is a strong sign that they love their home and the people in it. Being protective is a natural instinct but will also serve as that they don’t want anything bad to happen to you.

Harley will do a little growl (so adorable) when she thinks something’s up. She may not be sure what it is, but if Harley feels like something is amiss, she will let me know about it so I can investigate.

The menopause is a period in women’s life when they lose the ability to reproduce and their ovaries stop producing estrogen. In general, it occurs between 45 and 55 years of age.

3. Problems with the main anxious system Gluten improves swelling and leaks in the structure of the intestinal.

Understanding Your Cat’s Behavior

Head Butting When a ram smashes his skull into another ram, he isn't announcing to the world, “I like you!” But for  cats, a knock of the noggin (referred to as “bunting” or “allorubbing”) is a sign of fondness. “Cats will physically use their heads to show affection,” says Johnson-Bennett, adding that felines may seem to “head butt” you with their foreheads and chins to demonstrate their amorous feelings and to leave their scent as a form of communication and identification

Blinking Cats can also express their affection for you without making physical contact. “Slow, relaxed eye blinks are often referred to as cat kisses,” Johnson-Bennett says. These long blinks indicate Fluffy is happy and relaxed.

Tail Up If your cat greets you with her tail held high, she’s giving you a warm welcome. “A sure sign of happiness is their tail is held upright like a flag pole. Plus, they want to be seen,” says Nagelschneider. Other tip-offs that Kitty is in a good mood: The ears are in a relaxed position, not flattened, and the pupils are normal-sized instead of dilated. Your cat has a relaxed gait when moving about the room and isn’t “skulking around,” says Johnson-Bennett.

On Its Back A cat lying on her back can mean very different things. “It’s important to not take a behavior out of context,” says Nagelschneider. You should look at the cat’s body as a whole, including the ears, eyes, paws, and tails. If Snowball is napping with her belly exposed, it probably indicates she’s feeling very secure and relaxed. But what if your cat has her tummy showing while she’s awake? If she’s simultaneously purring and kneading her paws in the air, she’s content and stress-free. But if she’s on her back with flattened ears or dilated pupils, she feels threatened. Your cat is defensively announcing that if she has to fight, she’s ready to use all of her weapons—including those powerful hind legs and claws.

Balling If your pet “hunkers down into a tight little ball” and then “tucks his limbs underneath his body and tightly wraps his tail close to his side,” depending on the immediate environment he’s in, he might be indicating that he’s afraid, says Johnson-Bennett. This posture can also mean your cat doesn’t want to be bothered. Essentially, your kitty is trying to make himself as invisible as possible. Balling up usually occurs during times of fear or uncertainty: You might observe this behavior when your cat is at the vet.

Anti-Social Many people think of cats as loners, but they’re actually quite social creatures. If your cat suddenly starts avoiding everyone or disappears for long periods of time, this can be cause for concern. Other troubling signs include lessening or no longer using the litter box or over-grooming. “Any change in a cat’s behavior should be viewed as a red flag indicating a potential medical problem,” Johnson-Bennett says. Take your cat to the vet for a check-up. If he's physically healthy, then “look at your cat’s environment from his point of view” to try to pinpoint the source of stress, she says.

Kneading/Making Biscuits It’s likely you’ve observed your kitty kneading his paws against something soft, such as a blanket or your lap, much like a baker working dough—hence the term “making biscuits.” A cat engaging in this behavior (also known as the “milk tread”) has regressed to when he was nursing: “When kittens are suckling they knead the mother cat’s teat with their paws to stimulate the flow of milk,” says Johnson-Bennett. A kneading feline is content, relaxed, and happy—much like a kitten with its mother—so if you find yourself on the receiving end, you should “consider it a compliment!” she says.

7 Things Humans Do That Cats Dislike

1. Not giving them a comfortable place to relieve themselves.

We all know that cats are picky creatures, and this extends to their litter box preferences. As a general rule, there should be one litter box for each cat in the house, plus an extra one. They should be cleaned daily, but your kitty may prefer that it’s scooped more often than that.

If your cat is avoiding the litter box and you’re not sure why, try making a few simple changes. 

2. Making loud noises

With their strong senses, cats cat be skittish, especially when it comes to loud noises. Shouting, banging, or slamming — even if it’s not directed at them — is sure to send your kitty into a tailspin. 3. Scolding them

While you may want to train your cat to do or not do something, yelling at him, pointing, or forcing him to do something will not work. Scolding cats only leaves them feeling confused and scared. Try gentle guidance and rewarding good behaviors, instead.

4. Ignoring odd behavior

By nature, cats disguise their pain, so it’s up to us to detect when something isn’t right. You know your cat best, so if you notice any strange behaviors, like persistent scratching, frequent / infrequent trips to the litter box, or lack of grooming, make sure to have her checked out by your vet.

5. Giving them a water bowl they don’t like using

It’s important that all creatures stay hydrated, but your cat may be deterred from drinking his water simply because he doesn’t like his bowl! While it’s okay to give kitty some sips from the faucet, he should always have access to a water source that he’s comfortable using.

6. Teasing them

This is a given, but cat owners should make extra sure that their kitty’s space is being respected when there are guests around. Poking, pulling, chasing, or sudden movements will make any cat feel scared and unsafe.

7. Declawing them

This procedure, which is simply a convenience for owners, can wreak havoc on your cat. Animal lovers have become more aware that declawing is an actual bone amputation, not just a removal of the claw. It can cause your kitty long-term pain, as well as leave her feeling defenseless and more vulnerable. This can lead to increased aggression, and it really poses a problem for cats who end up outdoors with no defenses.

5 Ways To Spoil Your Dog

Linger On Your Daily Walk – For most dogs, necessary walks just aren’t long enough. Sure, they get the job done, but wouldn’t your pooch like to spend an extra 5, 10, 15 minutes of one-on-one time with you enjoying nature? Next time you want to treat you pal, linger a little longer on your walk. The extra fresh air will do you both some good and you will get bonus time with your dog.

Routine Belly Rubs – Nothing beats a good belly rub, except maybe a back scratch. Make it part of your daily routine to spend a few minutes focused only on giving your pet a good rub down. Once it becomes part of the routine, your pet will beg for their daily scratch. For example, each morning while I am getting ready my dogs come for a visit. They scratch at my feet until I stop what I am doing and spend five minutes giving them a good scratch.

A Nice Place To Nap – Just because your dog is content to lay on the floor doesn’t mean she should have to. For most dogs one bed isn’t enough, they like to have several places to nap all over the house — so they can keep an eye on things, of course. In our house, the dogs have three beds plus the couch and several other choice places for a nap. Spoil your pup with several cozy beds of their own.

Get Down And Play – For big dogs, it is easy to stand up to throw a ball and play, but with little dogs it is important to get down on their level to play. With dogs as small as mine, that means sitting on the floor for a little tug of war or game of catch. Just like people, give your dog some good eye contact so they know how much they matter.

Special Dinner Treat – Everyone enjoys a treat with dinner from time to time. Guess what, so do your dogs. I mean most of the time they eat the same meal every day, although dogs don’t seem to mind it’s not very exciting. No wonder they go nuts when they smell you cooking something delicious in the kitchen.

5 SIMPLE TIPS FOR FINDING CHEAP FLIGHTS TO EUROPE

1. Be prepared to compromise

Perhaps you want to go to Paris, but the only reasonably-priced flights to Europe from your area land in London. Plenty of European cities like these two are cheaply connected by budget airlines, and if you’re willing to take a bus or a train between destinations, your options are even better than if you’re only open to flying.

For example, a plane from Athens to Rome can be as low as 30 Eur. Even if you were to land in Athens, you’d easily be able to make it to your final destination without the huge extra expense.

2. Use flight aggregators – wisely

Skyscanner and other flight aggregators are useful tools to have access to when you’re planning a trip, but they’re not always 100% accurate. Often, users find the price of their dreams, but when they go to the airline’s website, the cost of their flight has mysteriously risen. Use aggregators to search, but check on individual airlines’ websites, too – sometimes they offer deals or discount codes that aren’t easily noticed when searching flights in bulk.

Some users also report increases in price when searching for the same flights more than once – so it may be wise to browse in incognito mode when you’re browsing and booking.

3. Set up airfare alerts

Many airlines and phone apps offer the option of setting up alerts, so when flights to your destination are in your price range, you’re immediately notified. This can be a passive way of keeping yourself informed on flight prices, and the concept works well as long as you’re not in any rush to book. Try several different airlines and apps so you can be sure you’re not missing anything.

4. Visit during the off-season

Travel-related costs are almost always cheaper outside the major tourist seasons (generally the summer months in most of Europe, or winter for ski areas). If you’re willing and able to commit to dates when others will likely be studying or working, you’ll often find much more affordable flights.

5. Sign up for a credit card with a rewards program

This one should be undertaken with caution – if you’re not great with money, don’t sign up for a credit card without serious consideration. However, if you’re good at managing your finances, signing up for a credit card with travel milescan be a great way to earn flights that are cheap or even free.

Use the card solely to pay for things you would buy anyway, such as groceries, and pay it off in full each month. You may be surprised at how quickly the miles add up!
