Is it normal that my hamster calms me down?

Hammy the hamster is magical! :D

This makes me want a hamster.

Normal my sister has a baby guniea pig and it squeals alot when it's happy haha it's always funny.

I used to have a hamster, they're indeed wonderful I have. They just don't live very long. :(

I used to have a hamster and one day it got out and the cat ate him!

I once pet my hamster so hard that it threw up

I think animals especially mammals in general tend to have a calming effect on their owners. I personally prefer rats over hamsters.

Right now its just my trusty Siamese cat and I but I would love to have a dog too. Shelties are awesome!

I used to have hamsters when I was a kid. they ended up mating and I ended up with 15 hamsters at one time. **Blows extremely trendy spring load**

A good meal always calms me down, too.

I've been thinking about getting a hamster recently. This has just reminded me of it. Pets are great.
