For a long time, cats have been stigmatized as mean, standoffish and notoriously independent. However, every cat is different, and it’s their versatile personalities that make them suitable for many types of homes.
“In one older study, researchers visited 120 married couples in their homes to observe how they would respond to stress, and whether cats were any help,” (Mfa, 2025).
The study found that cat owners had lower stress responses while their cats were in the same room during the experiment.
I recently had the chance to visit Feline Good Social Club in Long Beach, CA and can attest that this study is accurate.
Speaking with co-founder Pam Leslie, adoption ambassador Kristin Harriman and a few volunteers at FGSC showed me just how much cats can help with everyday structure and emotional support.
Check out my feature story below on FGSC and stop by if you’re ever in Long Beach. I can’t speak for everyone, but I definitely left feline good.
