Did you know a cat’s purr is actually therapeutic?
Purrs have been shown not only to be a calming presence, but also help
relieve pain,add to the healing of wounds, improving circulation, and even inhibiting bacterial growth. How, I have no idea,
but scientists are finding all sorts of things through a cat’s purr or ‘vibrational stimulation’ can do.
Surely Seaview should have a ship’s cat assigned to sickbay. Think
of all the aggravation it would prevent with it's usual patients. Doc would be so proud.

Cats aren't the only 'therapy' animals. Dogs, guinea pigs, etc, (usually a domesticated animal which is soft and
furry but not necessarily so) have been frequently used for various therapies in hospitals, nursing homes, etc. Dogs especially
are great therapy animals as they are born people pleasers and enjoy being petted, fussed over, etc. The simple act
of petting a dog has been shown to lower blood pressure and reduce stress.
