If reducing stress and improving your emotional well-being is a goal for you in 2025, and you love cats, there’s a place in Underground Atlanta that might be purr-fect for you.

Multiple studies have shown that petting cats can help reduce stress, and according to a 2019 study from the University of Washington, just 10 minutes can have a significant impact. 

“City Lights” managing producer Kim Drobes went on the prowl for a little cat comfort and filed this report from “The Frisky Whisker.”  



The space includes a sound gallery, art space and cat lounge, which is officially called “The Whisker Lounge Cat Research & Therapy Center.”
