It’s no secret that guys who own cats have developed a certain reputation. As the foster mom and owner of more than one kitten, I’m here to share just a few of the reasons why guys who own cats are actually winning.
5 Reasons Guys Who Own Cats Win!
- They’re Intelligent! Studies show that self-identified cat owners scored higher on intelligence tests than self-identified dog owners. They also had higher IQs and overall level of education. Though it’s probably not the cat itself making them smarter. 😉
- They aren’t squeamish. Male cat owners clean litter boxes, pick up hairballs and are frequently brought disgusting “gifts” from their cat. They’re tough!
- Cat guys are healthy! Numerous studies have shown that owning any pet is good for your heart. It’s also been shown that cats in particular lower your stress level and the amount of anxiety in your life. Additionally, petting a cat has a positive calming effect. In fact one study found that over a ten year period cat owners were 30 percent less likely to die of a heart attack or stroke than non-cat owners.
- As with many other life choices, the type of pet you own can say a lot about your personality. Did you know people who own cats score highly in trusty worthiness and their ability to trust other people?
- They will watch cat memes and cat videos with you. Enough said.
Who knew owning a cat could be so cool? Cat lovers did of course! Which is why Purina Pro Plan is shredding perceptions of both traditional cat food and the typical cat owner by launching Purina Pro Plan SAVOR Shredded Blend (an all-new mealtime experience that combines crunchy kibble and tender meaty shreds).
