Animals and Periods

I know, I haven't posted in a while, due to two new kitties I have. Speaking of kitties, did you know that they can be quite good for periods? Especially those *gasp* mood swings. (Y'know, those things we all hate. ) Many animals can help actually. Cats sleep about 16-20 hours a day, and will probably be more than happy to curl up in your lap. Dogs are descended from wolves, which are pack animals, so they often purposefully try to make you feel happier, as a loyal part of the "pack."

And what I'm saying isn't just that pets are fun to have, but numerous studies have shown that owning animals can reduce stress. Some schools have started introducing puppy rooms that students go to before taking big tests.
