After 50 years, people enter old age, know their own destiny, have a new understanding of everything in the world, and have more contact and interaction with the environment and nature. They can almost enjoy their old age, with a yard, flowers and plants, and a few cats and dogs as companions. Therefore, keeping pets is also a good way to adjust the life of the elderly, which has special significance.

In Spain, an old couple lived alone in a desolate village for 45 years and raised 25 cats with them. They are the only two residents of La Estrella, a village in teruel. They lived alone in this desolate village for 45 years. They are accompanied by three dogs, four hens, a rooster, 25 cats and some bees.

Martin and his wife have been living in an abandoned village without water and electricity facilities, where there is no TV and telephone. They have an old car and drive it to a nearby town every once in a while. The nearest village is at least 25 kilometers away. Living this simple life, they still seem quite happy. And many people think Martin's life is great. They all find it interesting to keep company with so many animals. This kind of life is much better than life in the city now.

In addition, people will inevitably have some diseases when they are old. However, treating diseases is not the patent of human beings, and animals also play a role in treatment. Molly, a pet cat in Berlin, Germany, is such an animal that can only cure diseases. Every week, "Molly" will go to the local Lu Se Steve Care Center for the Elderly to bring joy to the elderly there. Eva cullmann, Molly's owner, said that weekly visits are an important therapy, which can stimulate the curiosity of the old people, strengthen their communication skills with the outside world and bring them joy.

So why are cats so valued by the elderly? A cat is a very interesting animal. A cat can keep a naughty and curious "childlike innocence" from childhood to adulthood. You can find happiness in relaxing, watching the cats at home play mischievously, or even just listening to their meowing. This kind of relaxation may be the main factor to make people physically and mentally healthy, so cats are a "panacea" to relieve the pressure of modern society. Secondly, cats are easier to keep, which is why many people choose cats as pets. Cats don't need "formal" exercise. Their game is just exercise. Compared with dogs, cats can live "tastefully" even in small houses. Cats love cleanliness, and they are definitely ideal pets for people who are nervous about their lives. Besides, cats spend two-thirds of their time sleeping. When they are lively, they must be at home. Compared with dogs, cats require less time and energy for their owners, so they may be more suitable for the elderly and the disabled to keep cats.

Of course, it is no good for the elderly to keep cats. The physique and immunity of the elderly are reduced, and many cats and people are more susceptible to infectious diseases. Therefore, in this respect, the elderly should pay more attention to hygiene and do a good job in the prevention and control of infectious diseases. On the other hand, although cats are docile, they do not rule out sudden riots due to environmental stimuli. At this point, the elderly may be bitten and scratched. We have seen many reports of old people being bitten by cats and dogs. If there is a wound, wash the wound with clean water or soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not squeeze the wound hard to avoid the rapid spread of bacteria. After simple treatment, you should immediately go to a regular hospital for rabies vaccine injection and further treatment. In addition, avoid alcohol, tea, coffee and spicy food for about a month.
