Don't stroke your cat.

I wonder where they found their sample of cats? I can imagine some 'wired' cats sending out hostile vibes as soon as they cottoned on that some twits in lab coats were scrutinising them! grin

That contradicts everything we have been told about stroking pets. I think a good stroke is soothing for both pet and owner. This is just a load of rubbish (I am being polite.)

What a load of twaddle. Cats adore being pampered. Well, ours does. wink

I'm not surprised the poor pussies got stressed, having a bunch of blokes measuring your stress hormones and pretending to be friendly.

I think Soop should send Rory to give them a short sharp shock.

A large quantity of aged testicular matter, IMO.

Somebody got paid to come up with that?

What must seem a 1st April article researchers are reported to say that you should not stroke your cat as it releases a hormone that indicates severe anxiety. What rot my cat comes to me to sit on me to be stroked and brushed. She would not do so if it caused anxiety. What do GN'ers think.
