Having a pet is a big deal for so many people. 

Besides being funny and giving a sense of companionship, owning a pet in a household could have some magical effects on the health of its owners. The most straightforward question is—how come? 

A pet will help reduce anxiety, improve physical activity persistence, and enhance social interaction with others who also love pets. Pet ownership affects both physical and emotional well-being. The ability to reduce stress and relieve anxiety is the reason behind the so-called "magic effect" of pet ownership. Even daily care routines like walking, feeding, cleaning them, or even mentioning the pet’s name could significantly improve the mood of the owner.

The previous study also stated that having pets could also have an impact on physical health such as reducing systemic hypertension, promoting physical activity, etc. (Hussein SM, 2021)

From a survey conducted by muniyo.com out of 263 people, it turns out that 54% of them choose cats out of so many other pets as their favorite to have in their household.
