The author of ‘Made for Each Other’, Meg Daley Olmert, has given an interview to Salon magazine in which she explains her thesis that oxytocin is responsible our ability to bond with other animals. In this brief quote she explains what happens when we pat our pet cat :
Touch releases oxytocin in humans and animals. Oxytocin is one of the most powerful hormones that the body makes. This is a chemical that is responsible for social bonding.
When you pat your cat, you should be getting a release of oxytocin, as should your cat, too, that slows your heart rate down, lowers your stress response. You feel this warmth and this attachment, as does the cat. So you’re getting an emotional and a physiological anti-stress response. It’s a wonderful renewable system

What is Oxytocin?
Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the body and which has long been known to be significantly raised in mothers experiencing childbirth. There is a mass of scientific research accumulating which links oxytocin with feelings of trust, bonding, affection, and even sexual attraction between two people.
Why Oxytocin Spray?
Oxytocin is a substance that has a short half-life. This means that its ‘power’ is not long lasting and therefore needs to reach the brain quickly in order to have an effect. Currently, the inhaling of oxytocin through the nose is considered to be the quickest and most effective means of achieving this. Thus oxytocin is now most often prescribed in the form of a spray.
What might oxytocin spray do?
Given the ever growing amount of research linking oxytocin with an increase in feelings associated with the ability and propensity to socially ‘bond’, it is believed that oxytocin spray might be used to overcome social anxiety, improve the symptoms of autism, allow oneself to create a more favourable impression in social and buisness encounters, even to make members of the opposite sex find you more attractive.
