A cat lover once put it very aptly and succinctly: ‘Cats are enchanting house companions, good friends and splendidly entertaining.’ A cat often means a great deal to older people in particular.
To combat the frequent loneliness and enjoy a happy old age, it is essential to have a purpose in one’s later years. All too often solitary people describe a cat as the ‘sunshine of their old age’. For many people the cat provides physical contact, for the cat is an animal that loves being stroked and petted. Once its affection has been won, a cat can enrich the life of a human being and make it far more interesting, while it can also protect its owner from developing psychological problems.
