For some years now, cats have not only been found in homes, but also helping those who need it most: the elderly, the sick who are in hospitals, or children. These animals bring out the best in us, and also keep us busy, so thanks to them we feel useful and above all, dear.
They are both physical and psychological support, so without a doubt, the cat is the best therapy for children.
And is that the benefits of therapy with cats are many and varied, among which we highlight:
- They return to the most empathetic child: Cats do not judge, they only look at you with that sweet little face that they have looking for a little affection. His calm character does the rest.
- They improve their condition: When they are sick, they often direct their thoughts to their illness, but if they have a cat around, it is easy for them to stop spending time thinking about it and spend their time caring for the animal.
- It lowers their blood pressure: interacting with the cat, that is, if it is stroked and / or spoken to, the pressure drops.
- They communicate better with their therapist: When children spend time with cats, little by little their self-esteem increases, as well as their confidence. By doing so, you get them to express their feelings. Thus, the therapist can help you.
- They make you feel useful: he may want to prepare his food and play with it, which is certainly a compelling reason for the child to enjoy the company of the cat.
Cats are excellent companions. They can help you in any situation, even if you're having a hard time. They know how to connect with your authentic "self," and what they should do so that, little by little, you have good days. Because they are ideal companions. 😉
