ENDING LONELINESS AND DEPRESSION Cont.
Chapter 16. Tickle A Rat; Spread The Joy! ( Trust Me, This Does Have
Something To Do With Overcoming Loneliness and Depression!)
Not to be out done, cats also express deep joy and contentment with
their purr motors going full throttle when human friends hold them on
their laps and pet them. (unfortunately, if you don’t protect your
legs, their delirious kneading may pierce your flesh,) If you’re a cat
lover, you know the healing power of that comforting feline purr. As you
stroke your four legged friend, it seems that all is well with the world
and a calm and peace fall upon you. Imagine how kittens feel, feeding
from Mama, serenaded by her rhythmic purring. It must be pure bliss.
Cats express their love for humans by rubbing up against our legs or
snuggling around our heads as we sleep. How many times have I awakened
to find a heavy cat draped across my neck and another wrapped around my
head? Why can’t they sleep at my feet to keep them warm, instead? But
they have their reasons, I’m sure.
Now, finally to the peculiar discovery of joyful, laughing rats!
Researchers found when the rat’s are tickled gently around the nape of
their necks, the rats break out in rapturous chirps, their form of
laughter, heard only with high tech devices because the sound is above
the range of human hearing. Rats laugh? Who knew?!!
Actually, according to several articles on the subject, this
discovery in the emerging field of animal sounds has human application,
which excites the neuroscientists. They’ve proven that during human
laughter, “ dopamine reward circuits in the brain light up.” This
research may lead to revolutionary treatment for emotional illnesses and
the brain chemistry involved with emotional problems such as Autism,
ADD, hyperactivity, etc. Although I’d never heard of this research in
animal emotions, it has been going on for years, and is now thoroughly
accepted, even by previous skeptics. A researcher said that the rats are
discriminating, only laughing for researchers of their own liking, and
refusing to laugh for those they don’t like. The tickle-loving rats
came back for more and grew close to some researchers.
