Cuddling cows could be an effective way to soothe stress and anxiety, especially for women, according to a new study.
The cows showed a strong preference for interactions with women compared to men, leading to stronger attachment behaviors reported by women.
'We have discovered... bovine-assisted therapy may not only benefit human participants but also enrich the cattle participants,' said Dr Katherine Compitus.
'It is unclear without further testing whether the animals sought out the attention of women in general... This opens up a new area on whether some therapies may be initially stronger based upon gender,' added Dr Compitus.
