Show Your Feline Some Extra Love on Hug Your Cat Day
Hug Your Cat Day is June 4, so you may want to prepare your feline family member for the extra attention it will receive. If you already hug your cat every day, give it some extra squeezes on this holiday. It is good for you and for kitty.
What Happens to People When They Hug Their Cats?
Cat lovers everywhere know how satisfying it is to give and receive affection from their feline companions. There is nothing quite like the sound of a cat’s purr motor running. The feeling you get when you hug your cat causes a physiological reaction that lowers your stress levels, alleviates anxiety and depression, and reduces symptoms of illness.
What Happens to Cats When They Get Hugs?
Your cat also benefits. When kitties receive gentle physical affection from their human companions, they understand that they are safe, strengthening their bonds with their people. Cats that are ill show improvement when they receive extra attention in the form of comforting touch. Do not be fooled by the idea that your feline is aloof. Once you spend some extra time showing it love, you are likely to see it become more social and affectionate.
On June 4 and every other day of the year, take time out to show your cat some extra love. You both will be happier and healthier for it.
