A Calming Presence
People with AIDS are less likely to be depressed if they own a pet, especially if they're strongly attached.
And with an animal in the home, people with Alzheimer's have fewer anxious outbursts.
The animal also helps the caregivers feel less burdened.
Cats seem to be particularly helpful since they need less care than dogs.
