Why Cats are the Perfect Companions for Students at Bridgewater Schools

The Benefits of Feline Friendship

As students, we often find ourselves overwhelmed with academic responsibilities and social pressures. It's easy to feel isolated or anxious in these situations. However, having a cat by your side can be incredibly therapeutic. Studies have shown that simply petting a cat can lower blood pressure, reduce stress levels, and promote feelings of calmness. At Bridgewater Schools, we believe that cats can play a vital role in supporting our students' mental health and well-being.

Caring for a cat requires regular feeding, grooming, and playtime, which helps students understand the importance of routine and commitment. Moreover, observing a cat's behavior and emotions can foster a deeper understanding of animal welfare and promote kindness towards all living beings.
