My Kitty Caregivers.
Welcome! I wanted to share a little about myself and how my kitties have helped me through a very emotional and challenging time. As mentioned earlier, we are a family with five cats! Yep, Five, and they are a houseful. It’s like having five very independent teenagers who all live by their own rules.
My previous husband had been sick for several years before he passed away. He enjoyed having cats in the home, and he said they helped him emotionally, so we got our first two. He felt they would give him company as his time homebound grew longer, and they would be comforting companions while I had to spend the days at work. Later we adopted a brother and sister, and then our baby girl, Gabbie, not long before Jim passed.
I have always loved cats, but I did not understand the emotional and solid connection both Jim and the cats had developed until he passed away. I had worked two jobs when he was at his worst to help us, plus spending any spare time off at the hospitals with him. At his passing, I didn’t think I could deal with the loss, the endless paperwork, the house, my job, AND five cats. I had considered rehoming our babies, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it, and I can’t put into words how thankful I am that I didn’t. I soon came to realize I was not the only one grieving. I was able to show love to my fur babies as well as them showing love in return.
Cats are susceptible to the emotions of their owners. They can sense if you do not feel well or are struggling emotionally. Cats are, for sure, emotional support animals. When a cat purrs, it has a self-healing effect on humans. It has even been identified that having an emotional support cat can help lower blood pressure! They can also help with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and isolation. Cats are intelligent, gentle and can form strong bonds with their owners.
Have you ever considered officially making your cat or cats emotional support animals? Here is the link for this process. There are steps to take, but it is worth it!
