What's My Major? Cat
-
We hear about this a lot these days: Students being helped with stress by the introduction of pets. And, yes, we can go the "precious snowflake" route, making fun of the coddled kids, but, you know, I would be saying that as someone who finds just having our cat around me when I'm working somewhat comforting and relaxing, especially when Fran's away at work and I'm the only human here (which is a lot of the time). I can see how having a dog or cat would help anyone with any stressful... um... am I suddenly supporting "service animals"? Because I think they're used as an excuse to bring animals where they don't belong (memo to the Chili's at the Fort Lauderdale Airport: having, like, a dozen tables with dogs, not even in service vests, yapping away is not terribly appetizing). But at home? Yeah, I can see it. (Miami Herald)
