Today's paper carried an article about the health benefits of cats. A study by University of Minnesota researchers collected data on over 4,000 people and found that cat owners were less likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke. Those who lacked a feline for company were 30 to 40% more likely to die of cardiovascular disease.
Dogs? They don't count.
Jerry and I should be in good shape with our four cats: Savannah, Samantha, Polska (aka Eightball) and Sprinkles (aka Badass).

Dogs have been shown to lower the blood pressure of their owners and have a remarkable ability to sniff out cancer. One woman's dog actually diagnosed her before her doctor. In tests conducted, certain dogs show about 99% accuracy in their diagnoses.
Hmmm, maybe I should think about a dog. A little one that's not too much trouble. Not too little or Sprinkles will beat it senseless.
