猫咪疗法
猫咪疗法是宠物疗法的一种。这些训练有素的“猫医生”能够调节病人的情绪，并在社交活动中扮演起“催化剂”的角色，帮助病人恢复身心健康，尤其是针对那些长期住院，精神状态不佳的病人们。猫咪疗法的效能已经得到许多文献和研究的证实，而我曾经作为一名注册护士，在病房里亲眼目睹病人们通过抚摸这些可爱的猫咪而变得更开朗、乐观，这样有助于他们全面地康复起来。猫咪可以帮助人类击退抑郁、焦虑等精神状况，爱护猫咪，也好好享受猫咪给予我们的爱吧！
Cat Therapy
Cat therapy refers to pet therapy where well trained and licensed cats are engaged as co‐therapists, with the role of ‘emotional mediator’ and ‘catalyst’ of a social process. It plays an important role in psychological, educational and physical rehabilitation. The effectiveness and efficiency of cat/pet therapy in improving depressive symptoms and cognitive function in residents of long‐term care facilities with mental illness is well approved by numerous studies as well as by my personal experiences. Cat/pet therapy was introduced as a part of the holistic care when I was working as a nurse on the ward. I do see my patients appear much brighter and outgoing after petting those lovely little creatures. Cats do help to fight against depression, anxiety and other negative emotions, and improve the status of mental health. Love cats, and be loved.
