Mental Health Month: Pets & Mental Health

I don't have any pets :( I really want to get a corgi though someday

@Kate

I can't add a picture at the moment. But my cat is an emotional support animal ESA who helps with my migraines and insomnia :) (and loneliness)

This Precious kitten, always knows what needs to be done. Wakes you up with purrs and cuddles when doesn't feel like the greatest day. If she thinks you are feeling lonely, she will meow and bring you one of her toys, so as know she is looking out for you.

Likes dressing up in human clothes like jeans also, silly kitty at times :P They do make us laugh!

Being a cat parent is very rewarding, and has been said a cats purr can help those with anxiety and those who find socialising more challenging.

@Kate, Leo looks so cute as a Uni-cat

Can't wait to see others pets

@Kate I love your cats, but prefer mine ;)

This is Louie. I swear I got a cat, but am convinced I have a dog. He comes when called, sits when told, begs for food, always wants to be center of attention, and is even the size of a small dog. He knows when I need a friend and loves to snuggle.

@Kate

heres my dog Mitzi who sadly was put down jan 12th as she was getting worse health wise but although she was not registered as an emotional support she was that for me cuddled me when i was down she assosiated me gaming or netflix as cuddle time so would nudge my hand making me stroke her to calm me she wanted to be the sole support when she nudged my hand he used to get under it and lift it up so it ends up on her she was very clever in knowing when she was needed and if it had ever gotten to a crisis point shed bark until i rethink and avoid the crisis shes deeply missed

Sadly I don't have any pets (yet) but I have always wanted a dog!

Here is the Australian Labradoodle I have always wanted!

This is my dog her name is Ivy! She's literally like my best friend, she listens to all my problems (even if she may not understand what I am saying or talk back to me) and is always there to make me feel better when I am down! It's amazing what animals can do for our mental health!

My kitty!!!
