We humans need to purr, pet and comfort him as he travels his path. If I get really sad, I will leave the house for awhile, just to release that negative energy. We are all connected, and love is what grounds us and fulfills us; both cat and human.Eastside Catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707701446222007049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2093738131646995756.post-56850655449529192812017-05-10T21:08:54.791+01:002017-05-10T21:08:54.791+01:00I'm so glad that your mum has you to comfort h...I'm so glad that your mum has you to comfort her, Athena. Depression and anxiety are very difficult things to deal with. I suffer from bipolar disorder (depression and mania) so I understand. I agree that we should all talk about it as we feel it necessary. It can be hard for non-sufferers to understand what we're going through or how to help us if we aren't open about our suffering. My cats are a blessing to me too. I agree with all of your points about how cats help!
