Studies show living with cats can reduce the chance of heart attack and stroke. Dogs don't to the same; the only thing they do is act cute. People who own dogs are 30%-40% more likely to die of cardiovascular disease. Dog owners had the same rate as no-owners, FREAKY...

Because other studies showed pets reduce stress, Dr. Adnan Qureshi decided to raise the subject weather pets can improve your health.

They gathered over 4,000 people who had answered questions about pet ownership. It was a surprise, the cat-dog difference. "We don't understand completely" He said. This is what he said when he had been asked if he had a cat, "No. Maybe I should get one, though. With this new research, I think the time has come to change."
