My cat will not leave me alone if I am in need of his purr therapy.
He even knows when I am unaware of the need for this attention. And will become a cling-on, until I stop and check in with myself.
He helps me come in touch with my feelings as this is something I realize is needed just like the visually impaired use a dog.
My friend's husband recently had heart surgery and the liturature suggests that if you do not have a pet, get one to help with your recovery.
In Group Therapy, when members got a pet they looked much happier!
