THE POWER OF A PUSSY CAT'S PURRRRRR...

"Perhaps the day is not far off when we see doctors writing prescriptions for cat ownership, and astronauts will set off for outer space with Kitty in the co-pilot seat" writes Dr Cathy Lund.  

Hello, Patch Pet Lovers!

There's nothing cuter than a sweet, little kitty, so soft and cuddly, and extremely playful making us laugh...  I'm smiling now as I write, just thinking about the warmth and comfort of a furry baby curled up in my lap!  

If you have a cat, you surely know the joy and fulfillment feline friends add to your life.

The effect of a kitty's purr is extremely calming and therapeutic, providing us with many residual health benefits... reducing stress and anxiety, lowering blood pressure, and decreasing the risk for heart disease, to name a few.  

But, can a cat's purring actually strengthen our bones?  

See what Dr. Lund says in her article entitled, "Purr Power!"
