It's warm here- I like it!

MightyPets
This is our beautiful girl YaYa. She has a twin brother Hoagie. They know when I'm having a bad day and Yaya comes and sleeps with me. Hoagie will snuggle for a bit, but then he goes stand guard at my bedroom door.
YaYa also knows grandma's spot in the bed is always nice and warm, with my heating pads and all. When I get up for the washroom, she is f-a-s-t! She curls up in that warm spot and settles right in 😸

Lessons from my pet: Belladonna Moonshadow Kelley

Bella, my wonderfully silly girl, my little napping buddy....you've taught me so much. By far the most important lesson has been to not take life so seriously. When I'm stressed out over a work project, you'll zoom around behind me and practically dangle off the cat tree, and of course I can't help but smile. How could I not? You have a magical way of knowing just when and how to break the "stress trance."

Even when I'm not stressed, you make me smile every day--yes, I mean the days when the #BipolarDepression hits me so hard I can barely function, too. I'm grateful that those days have been few and far between for the past year and a half, thanks to finally being on the right meds at the right dosages...and, of course, thanks to a goofy little black cat with perfect comedic timing. #catsheal #Cats #LifeLessons #thingsmypettaughtme #lessonsfrommypet

Cats purring frequency is said aid in healing

I read these types of articles everywhere and I believe it true

How Could Purrs Help Humans Heal?
For centuries, healers have used the power of sound in their work. It is believed that certain frequencies or tones of sound can have varying healing effects on the body. Here are some of the ways that purrs might help humans with health concerns:

Purring releases endorphins in cats, and it can do the same thing in humans, too. Lowered stress hormones are helpful for healing, lowering blood pressure, and helping people cope with illness, too.
Cat purring has been shown to fall between 25 and 140 Hz. The same frequency has been shown to aid in the healing of broken bones, joint and tendon repair, and wound healing. Cats are well-known for their ability to heal quickly from their own broken bones, and the incidences of joint problems and bone cancer in cats are low. It's possible that cat purrs can help humans heal faster, too.
Clinical observations of cats that are suffering from upper respiratory conditions resulting in dyspnea, or trouble breathing, indicate that purring helps the cat breathe more easily. In fact, respiratory distress related to heart disease isn't nearly as common in cats as it is in dogs and humans. A person with respiratory problems might also be able to breathe easier if a purring cat is nearby.
There are many stories of people with migraines whose headaches are eased or extinguished when they lie with their heads close to purring cats. #catsheal , #catssenseillness
