Wholesome. Except the 4th-panel propaganda. That poor woman is dead after that…
Yup
Depends on the cats personality, some will tolerate, others will kill.
Look at the cat’s eyes! She is about to die. That’s why no 5th panel
Does it really heal wounds and stabilize blood pressure? That seems a bit far-fetched.
according to Google, cat purrs are at a specific frequency that somehow helps you heal faster

If toxoplasmosis reduces my heart attack risk and stress with no discernable side effects sign me up!
You can’t tell me what to — oh, a pretty cat!
Guinea pigs are kittens that never become cats
I have 2 cats.
One of them seems to sense when I’m upset or unwell, and will come to hug me, wrap herself around my neck and purr in my ear.
Then the other one will sneak up on us from behind, jump on her back, and start a cat fight on top of my head.
I love them both, but sometimes I wonder whether getting a second cat was the right decision.Some cats are grade A dingdongs!
Still love them all.
Cat people have 40% less risk of heart attack.*
Cat people are also overrepresented cohorts of wealthy people and women, two cohorts who have a much lower risk of heart attack than the most at risk cohort of poor men.
So what you are saying is the more cats I get the richer I will be?
Correlation and Causation are just fancy-pantsy words used by experts to lie to us common folk!
And more feminine
But I’ll get cat hair on my programmer socks!
You don’t have to convince me, I was already sold.
But I still have lots of cats, right?
Yes that’s exactly how causation and correlation work, go for it!
Gotta sell them all
Scientists have discovered that having more cats reduces the risk of heart attacks and increases wealth with no upper limit*
*study sponsored by toxoplasmosis foundation
No but cats are correlated with wealth, I’m not implying any sort of causation, unlike the post lol.
Because they’re famously expensive to keep?
Isn’t it also that pet owners in general have better health?
Possibly. It would make sense, people with poor health who tend to also be poorer financially are less likely to have the ability to take care of a pet.
Petting a cat calms down & relieves stress.
There’s a 50/50 chance that a cat will try to claw your eyes out if you rub their belly, but yes.
Survivorship bias: those who live through the encounter have lowered stress.😁
The calming down and stress relief all happens once the petting session ends.
Knowing that you survived probably gives you a nice hormonal boost:-).
Depends on the cat. There’s some that will let you do just about anything and at most bat you with a paw, claws retracted. Then there’s others that if you don’t pay attention and pet them just a fraction wrong will take your arm off. Know your cat.
This is true, I had both living with me at the same time for years.
Sort of still do but the bitey half is more playful now (different cats)
My cat learned I can’t see when I have the VR headset on and knocked a lamp over onto my head.
My neighbours cat sleeps on my couch when the door is open and he always wants me to scratch his belly.
Nice, that’s basically free healthcare.
Yeah, it’s pretty great. All I have to do is feed their cats when they’re away.
