Could your cat be doing more than keeping you company? This episode explores the science behind the bond between cats and humans, including oxytocin, stress, routines and the calming power of feline companionship. While cats may not dramatically rewire our brains, the thousands of quiet moments we share with them could influence our mood, emotions and sense of connection. And, of course, they may also permanently change who owns the favourite chair.
