I love my cat, she motivates me to get up during the day. To clean her dishes, give her fresh food/water, scoop and/or change the litter in her litterbox, play with her. She motivates me to take care of myself because I need to be around to take care of her. and also motivates me to take my medication because I can't be hospitalized for mental health because I'd have no one to take care of her while I'm gone. I smile a lot more now that I have her, she makes me laugh everyday. I'm less lonely because of her. On Thanksgiving I wasn't crying because I was alone, I had her with me. I want to take care of her as best as I can and give her a really happy life.
