Why cat's are so intelligent you will find in this video:
The first time Nutan scooped her cat, Chica, into her arms, she realised she’d reached a stage in her life where she’d become responsible.
In the past, medical researchers thought that owning a cat could actually cause schizophrenia. This is because cat faeces can carry a microorganism called Toxoplasma gondii, which infects a large minority of humans without them knowing it or showing any symptoms. Studies on rodents infected with T. gondii show it affects behaviour, hence the connection between the same infection and schizophrenia in humans.
Nutan has herself been diagnosed with schizophrenia, but now new research rejects the schizophrenia link. Instead there’s a growing body of literature that says owning a cat can have a positive effect on your mental health. Not only can a pet stave off loneliness, but also lower blood pressure and bring affection back into your life.
Nutan, a self-proclaimed “Londoner exiled in Glasgow”, supports this growing body of evidence and says: “I’ve never had a child in my life and I hear people say it comes to a stage where if you can look after a pet and give it a loving home, then you could bring a child into the world.
“The first time I held Chica, my cat, she was that barometer. I was a bachelorette living alone and managing a severe mental illness, and my sister gave Chica to me as a present after one of quite a few hospital stays. I named my kitty Chica after a dear friend and she brought me a lot of relief.”
The benefits of being responsible
Nutan believes Chica is good for her in a number of ways, not just because the frequency of her purring – on a similar frequency to ‘Om’, the Hindu mantra Nutan grew up with – lowers Nutan’s heart rate.
“In terms of my mental health, being a cat owner gives me another persona to the different diagnoses psychiatrists label me with. I own a cat and it’s become a part of my identity. It feels like the psychiatric diagnoses can be left behind. But Chica gives me responsibility too. I’ve got a degree, but I’ve never been a manager of a department because I’ve been in and out of hospital. The idea of being a cat owner and having the responsibility that brings is an honour,” says Nutan.
