Could a cat who adores gravel be grounding? What if?

"One of the benefits of grounding is its potential anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is the body's response to injury or infection. Acute inflammation can promote healing and help you feel better. But if you develop chronic inflammation, it can harm healthy parts of your body and cause disease. Making contact with the Earth's surface neutralizes free radicals — unstable atoms that can damage cells and cause aging and other diseases — with electrons from the Earth.

Grounding is also believed by some to improve mood and promote stress relief. Research has found that grounding may increase serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that regulates appetite, mood, and sleep. Higher serotonin levels are associated with increased feelings of happiness and lower stress levels."
