Cats: they're good for you

From The Daily Telegraph:

"Owning a cat can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by more than a third, researchers have found.

"Scientists said that having a cat helped to relieve stress and anxiety, which is known to help protect against heart disease by lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart rate."

My "Peace Quote" this morning:

My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I am happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right?

But what about the cat's stress?

I must be stressing mine out, since they seem to be returning the favor.
