If they are really great for students, how did the conclusion of cats being a distraction for learners come to be?
Although they are not that much of a problem compared to more complicated things, they can be distracting at some times. Cats are independent creatures, but they will also crave attention and eventually feel lonely. Not only that, they will also need survival things such as food just like humans, or any other living things. Because of this, some people may feel a sense of responsibility.

To summarize things up, cats can be good for lessening stress and can be a distraction to students as well. Cats are great stress relievers and provide entertainment. According to some of the students in APEC V. Luna, cats are not yet seen around the building. Dogs are seen instead. How about you, do you think that school cats are purr-fect for healing or is it just a purr-fect distraction?
