Office Kitty
Every office should have a cat. When heart rate and blood pressure were monitored during a simulated stressful situation (participants were asked to complete challenging arthimetic problems), those with pets fared much better than those without. The article Cardiovascular Reactivity that describes this research makes for a fascinating read. Bottom line, cats are good for the health of your heart!

Warm, cuddly kitty and a wonderful view as well! I work in a windowless office with a low ceiling and poor HVAC (hot in summer, cold in winter). We lovingly refer to our section's unfortunate building location as "The Cave." Actually a cave might be nicer! :)

Corbie likes to walk on the keyboard and play with the mouse cursor on the screen. HAHA!
ReplyDeleteThey are certainly good for MY heart - if you take into account the great aerobic exercise I get lunging after one on my lead as they run past when I'm on a walk.
ReplyDeleteLove and licks, Winnie
No arguments on either point! :)

ReplyDeleteBrenda, your cat looks adorable and your office is very cozy! You also have a nice view from your window.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good info about the Cardiovascular Reactivity and the Presence of Pets. I agree, cats and dogs are good for the health of our heart.
