What psychological effects do pets appear to have and why? What recommendations about pets would you make to someone who wants to maximise their psychological health? I chose this topic because as anyone who knows me knows how crazy I am about my pets. I have always grown up with cats and I have two 11 year old cats at my parents house and two 2 and a bit year old cats at my place. As I am writing this I can hear one of my cats Tuna running psychotically up and down the hall. Asking her to stop doing so is pointless. Reflecting on this really makes me wonder, do pets maximise a person's psychological health or just send us completely batty......?

Hahah! hey Erin! this is a Great topic.. Well my dog died a few weeks ago :o( But my dog and I had a love hate relationship! haha she would send me completely crazy almost all the time, but there was always something about her that made me forgive her. And she was definately great company!! As crazy as she was, when she died it was so sad, but its amazing how attatched you get to your pets.
Good luck with ya blog :)
Hi Erin,
I think this topic will be extremely interesting as particularly in reference to cats it is said that they can be relaxing to pat. I think one component which may come into the psychological area is dependence; the knowledge that your pet relies on you for food, shelter, health, affection, etc. I think this could relate to psychological health as looking after a pet can be a rewarding and challenging experience. I have 2 cats - 1 is very old who has been with me since I was 5 years old and the other is a young crazy kitten, but I love them both. An attachment to pets is another interesting aspect which may come into the psychological aspects... anyways enough rambling from me :) Good luck with your post - it should be fun to research, and I look forward to any posts on this topic.

Hi Erin,
I think this topic is just fascinating.
And I agree that pets have some amazing psychological benefits.
One personal experience is that my dad got kidney failure about 8 years ago and had to go on dialysis.
I think our family pet, connie the chihuahua, really sensed this.
She stayed by my dad's side for hours on end while he was connected to a machine- and I think gave him a real lot of psychological support. For 18 months (until he got a transplant... thank God) she sat with him, and never ONCE left his side.... which I just find amazing.
I am really keen to find out about the actual psychological research and theories behind pets.
Good Luck. xxxx
