    Sometimes your cat is the only reason you get out of bed.Talking about mental fatigue, depression, and quiet companionship
    Prompt : Has a cat ever been your anchor during a hard season?

      @Annacats I think it's a permanent state for me these days. My cats (both of them) like to ensure I don't get out of bed by sitting on me.

        Absolutely has and more than once. Sometimes the bridge of understanding is quite astonishing and... hmmm... yes, I think a 'wonderful' is justified 😺

          @enitharmon That sounds like their way of saying rest, we’ve got you.
          A very devoted and very heavy kind of love.❤️

              @Annacats Absolutely. During COVID I was having a difficult and emotionally trying time with work & life in general. We adopted our rescue cat Roscko, and just a couple of months after we brought him home I said this:

              "I never imagined one day I would need an emotional support animal, but I'm glad I have you."

              🐈

                When I had a mental health crisis my cat wouldn't let me out of her sight, followed me everywhere and giving comfort cuddling up with me.

                  @Annacats Oh, so much! When my wife left, Gus my Burmese kept me going and sane. It was a rough few years. I wept more at his passing than her exit.

                    @nzlemming That says so much about the kind of bond you had with Gus 🤍. May their soul rest in peace 🕊️.

                      @darrenmorin That’s such a beautiful thing to say to him 🤭. There’s something really humbling about realizing the one you “rescued” ends up rescuing you too.🫶🏻

                        @Ravimakes I’m really glad you had her in that moment. Sometimes their presence feels like a silent “you’re not alone,” and that can mean everything.

                            @Annacats I think I tell him "thank you" just about every day.
