Good Lifestyle

If you own a pet, it will probably not be surprising that aRecent Study of the University of Michigan Noted that possessing a pet comes with a huge amount of health benefits, especially since it concerns older adults. But when it comes to the question of happiness, these wonderful fur creatures provide, the animal owners have been suddenly divided on at least one question since the beginning of the times: will have a dog or own a cat make you a happier person?

Now, the recently reported conclusions of theGeneral Social Survey can finally provide an answer to this secular debate. Just say that it's less than big news for cat lovers.

Of these interviewees, dog owners have reported greater levels of happiness.

According to the survey, 39% of American families do not have a pet, only 33% owns a dog, only 11% owned a cat, 14% of 14% and the 4% more have a small animal such as a bird or lizard.

When asked if they were "very happy", 36% of dog owners reported "yes" - only 18% of cat owners. People who possessed both a dog and a cat also reported eveninferior Levels of happiness than those who care for a reliable canine (28%). Those who owned no pets have been happier than you could not wait (32%). In addition, dog owners were also more likely than cat owners to seek comfort of their pet, play with them and consider them as a family member.

However, as indicated byChristopher Ingraham inThe Washington Post, Correlation does not involve causality, and there may be other factors here, especially when it comes to somethingas complex as happiness.

The survey data indicate that dog owners are more likely to be married andPrevious research has shown that married people tend to be a little more shredder in general that their divorced or single counterparts.

A2016 studyI found that dog owners were more extroverted, more enjoyable and less neurotic than cat owners, so that dog owners can just be happier to start. The cat owners, meanwhile, can affirm that the point of having a cat should not be "happy" as much to look at their mysterious majesty of a polite distance. As Terry Pratchett said: "In ancient times, cats have been loved as gods; they have not forgotten that." Their independence is very part of their call.

I would also like to note some of the abilities that dogs have that cats simply do not do it, which can be relevant for the happiness of the owner of Pet.

Recent studies have shown that dogs can feel the convulsions before starting, detect cancer in its infancy and alert an owner suffering from diabetes when his blood sugar levels bowed dangerously low.

OtherStudies have found that dogs are unique in what they have evolved to completely depend on humans For survival, which is perhaps why the canine-human bond is as strong as that.

So, if you are a cat lover, you can react to this study in the same way that your cat would react to a bowl of spoiled milk. But if you are a dog lover, do not hesitate to send it to all your obsessive feline friends as proof that dogs are the best absolute.
