Cats at college? 'Highly emotional' students may benefit from felines on campus: study
Fox News
A new study in the journal Anthrozoös suggests "highly emotional" students and staff on college campuses might benefit from petting cats as part of animal-assisted interventions at college.
"AAIs" refers to on-campus programs that provide college students with animals in order to help students feel less stress. Cats are subject to "anecdotal narratives" that would suggest they are not suitable as therapy animals. "The well-being and safety of the animals involved in any animal-assisted intervention should be of paramount importance." Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
Cats can help relieve stress in the same way that petting a dog can be relaxing for some people, said authors Joni Delanoeije and Patricia Pendry.
