Cole and Marmalade, two of the best-known cats on the internet, show off ten ways a cat is good for your health. A few cat owners think ten is too few. more

The cats' people made the list to show how much the two of them have changed their own lives. Each reason gets a cat to act it out, which is the only way a health lesson ends up this fluffy.
