Is is true that a dog can reduce our stress?

I call it by its name?

 

I think more people say "here kitty kitty" when it's someone else's cat, or a cat they've never seen before that they want to pet.

 

So do I.

 

Yes, but it's the kitty? Why kitty, or in this case kitty-kitty??

 

Oh, Maybe I'm getting your point. -maybe. Is it that where you are the word "kitty" is not used, unknown, or is sorta like an alien term?

 

To me there is usually a significant difference between a shelter dog and a rescue dog. The lady down the street is very experienced with dogs her whole life. She adopted a rescue dog and the first week he ate the dashboard and all the upholstery in her Sienna van and some furniture. She stuck with him, and he's worked out his problems, but it wasn't easy for her.

 

It isn't used here (UK), and I guess it could be a generic name for cats. But we're still left with the repetitive kitty-kitty? (I can't believe I'm having this conversation! lol)

 

Yeah, I think it's a learned taste.
