September 27 2025 - How Time Changes Impact Our Health & Rethinking the Way Cats Connect With Humans Just ahead of November 2nd, when we turn back the clocks an hour, there are new health warnings about seasonal time changes. Researchers have found that staying in standard time or daylight saving time is definitely better than switching twice a year. It’s all due to the disruption of our circadian rhythms, our internal clock that regulates things like digestion, hormone release and more. We reached the study’s author Dr. Jamie Zeitzer, a behavioral science professor at Stanford University. And Dogs are man's best friend, but it turns out the stereotype of the domesticated cat is wrong. Despite their reputation as aloof and loners, cats form very strong attachments to their human caregivers in a way that’s similar to human infants and dogs, though they show it in more subtle ways. Just as pet owners depend on their feline friends for comfort, cats see their humans as a source of safety and security. We reached Neuroscientist and Physiotherapist Laura Elin Pigott in the UK who says the new research is rooted in the feel good hormone oxytocin.
