You don’t have to tell a pet owner that having a pet helps reduce stress but did you know that there is proof? According to a study presented at the 2008 meeting of the American Stroke Association, cats in the home reduce the chances of death from cardiovascular disease by 30%. They also found that having a cat was a non-drug alternate to cholesterol treatments. The same study did not find out anything about dogs in the home but that was only due to the fact that there was a lack of dog owners in the study.

The information provided by you is very very helpful to everyone. With the help of American stroke association we know the different way to reduce our stress. I m sure those who are having cats in their home they must be feeling happy and those who don’t have they must be going to buy. Great Information.

The comment above this one is a common example of what I call stress for me. It is a prime example of a spam comment. Notice the “by” line is a phrase and not a persons name. I edited the comment to remove the link that the comment wanted to link to. That last part about people “they must be going to buy”, smacks of spammer.
