With the coronavirus spreading throughout the world, people have been confined to their homes. In America, three out of four Americans with cats say they couldn’t have survived the lockdown without their furry feline friend.

So obviously a cat is good for your health. Now if we could only take our pet expenses off as health care, we’d be all set.
