Cats then replicate this behaviour with you as a way of showing their own affection – it simply comes naturally.
Mentally. Petting dogs and cats helps us feel happier and less stressed: it's scientifically proven by numerous studies. Here's how it works: when you pet an animal (one that you like) for 15 minutes, your brain releases a feel-good cocktail of happy hormones into your brain: prolactin, oxytocin, and serotonin.
