But there is something that can get rid of that stress and loneliness when there are no friends, namely by keeping a cat to make a pet, with us keeping a cat at home it can be our friend when we come home from activities, whether at work, school or campus, which will welcome us for the first time here. In our house there is a cat who welcomes us at the door and there are also benefits to having a cat, namely:

Of Increase levels of the hormones serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine in the body

Keeping a cat is a form of fun activity to relieve stress. Playing with pets makes the hormones serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine increase. These hormones will create a sense of pleasure, happiness, and calm when we are stressed or feel anxious. Interestingly, the levels of these hormones will gradually increase the longer we play with pets.
