What’s one time your cat was actually helpful?

[u/altered_a]

As much as we love these little freeloaders for what they are, it’s always nice when they do something that’s like ~ hell yea that’s why we got you ~ For example. I stepped out of the shower a couple days ago and saw her chasing something around, when I looked closer I realized it was a little silverfish. I watched her smack if around for a second before she just ate it whole. I found it hilarious as i only expected her to play with it and figured i’d have to get if once she killed it. It was one of those hell yea moments. I’d love to hear more stories of cats doing wild cat things.

And for any and everyone that wants to say something about her collar. No it does not bother her, yes it’s a break away collar that will come off with little to no force should she ever get caught in it, she willingly lets me put it on her and has never tried to take it off or showed irritation. Because she’s a void it helps us to not step on her in the middle of the night when she tries to trip us. It’s purely for her safety. Thank you and have a great day

My cat Luna does the same thing for me. She has saved me quite a few trips to the er for needing stitches. Cat tax

At my most recent hospital trip they let her ride with me in the ambulance,sit with me in the ER and then when I went upstairs she calmed me down (normally I would have been a wreck) I hate hospitals! she pooped in the basin that the hospital provided until my sister brought her kitty litter from home, and she was spoiled rotten by the nurses who all wanted to take her home with them! because they thought that I could not provide a proper home environment for her, but she only wanted to sleep with me and never left my side except for trips to the bathroom

That’s soo awesome they let her come with you!! There’s times I wish I could have had Luna with me

There's more and more evidence of cats being comforting animals,as long as they have a good harness and are harnesses broken (mine is) better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission, yes I know that some people are extremely allergic to cats but when you are talking about seizures? come on a neurological disorder trump's an allergy every single time

[u/muffin628 → u/Sweaty_Mushroom5830]

Luna also doesn’t mind the harness. Totally get what you are saying. I’m soo glad you also got a lil seizure buddy

[u/Sweaty_Mushroom5830 → u/muffin628]

I'm glad you do too

I'm incredibly allergic to dogs & they're everywhere, including just pet dogs people bring in places....i just leave the area the dog is in. there should absolutely be more tolerance for helper kitties in public.

Once a nurse said that she wasn't sanitary and I pointed out that she didn't have to come into contact with her if she didn't want to and Phoebe was calmly sleeping at the bottom of the bed, not disrupting the IV lines or anything else and she was an angel the whole time I was in the hospital
