I feel so much better after getting a cat

[brownbear]

Since adopting my cat i have been doing so much better mentally.
Taking care of a living being, coming home to a soul asking for attention and love has given me positive distraction.
Being loved by an animal is truly a wonderful thing.

Maybe its because i just got the cat (honeymoon phase??) or because the meds finally started working, but i have a newfound reason to live on just a little longer.

I'm happy to hear that. Life can be a long journey but no one told that must be taken alone. Take care

Cats are great. I can see why you'd feel that way. Cats have been emotional support for me for as long as I've been alive.

LOVE THAT for you :,) i joke w folks sometimes like "i'd be so sane if i had a cat; taking care of others is much more reasonable a demand" YOU BETTER TAKE GOOD CARE OF THAT SWEET ANGEL BABY !! (can't have pets in my apt building but living thru u rn!!)

Kitties are so lovely. Here's to hoping the combo of meds and having a precious kitty that loves you and that you love can help you feel better <3
The meds don't usually do all of the work, but can make enough of a change to want to and be able to make the rest of the change. We don't at all know you aside from this post, but we wish you the absolute best with recovery. <3

I also took in a cat, and it's been so good for my mental health. I don't know why exactly, but he gives me a better will to live. I wish the best for you and your cat

I had a cat actually stop me from ctb before. So, me and my wife wife were going through a split and I was home alone in our two story home with just my cat, and well. He knew I was depressed. So, everytime I got up (I pace a lot) he would get up and then sit right back down on my lap the second I did, and on top of this...During this time, out of nowhere I thought he attacked my leg, and because he was the gentlest cat I've ever seen, I just stared for a second dumbstruck and got up, and as it turns out he had a brown recluse under his paws. Cats are amazing, and I recently talked my gf into getting a cat (mainly so when I ctb she's not alone).

I'm glad to hear this, cats are amazing. I hope the meds have started working for you too.

My cat turned 10 recently and is still a huge motivation to me. They get such a bad rep, but are truly loving creatures if you treat them right! I'm glad you're doing better and hope things continue to look up for you. Just think of your kitty and how much he/she needs you when you're feeling down!

That's wonderful . Animals/pets are amazing.

Cats really do have a way of healing the soul, my mom got us a kitten two years ago when my anxiety disorder was at its worst and i really do think they give us a huge reason to live. Her sweet little face is enough to make my day.

Cats make everything better. Unless you happen to creature smaller than them...
