Their abilities to fetch and carry do not really conjure up a picture within me as being that helpful to someone who might not be able to see,\u00a0 hear or get around in public places for example. \u00a0But that does not mean to say that cats cannot be used in other areas of support when needed.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned before some cats are sent as angels and they just arrive on your doorstep and become what you need just at the right time. Their presence is awesome \u2013 they are awesome.<\/p>\n<p>When one is emotionally challenged a cat can be just what the doctor ordered and the only side effect that I can see is that they might miss depositing their excrement outside of the litter box occasionally.\u00a0 Wouldn\u2019t it be great if we humans could get along without drugs and harmful medicines that hurt you in other ways when used for a particular ailment in your body, when all you would need is a prescription for a cat to love and nurture.<\/p>\n<p>Emotional support and companionship may not be considered a physical work task, however, their presence in these roles are certainly worth consideration where cats are concerned.\u00a0 My sister has always had a cat \u2013 she has suffered mentally through our cruel upbringing all of her life and I know she has had a few cats in her life to help comfort \u00a0her in times of need.\u00a0 And even where she works as a carer through the long night hours at a facility that houses people of all ages with physical and mental disabilities, their house cat is among their prized possessions. My nephew suffered a tragic and horrendous beating when he was a mere 13 year old young person at the hands of a bully, which left him mentally retarded for the rest of his life.\u00a0 He is now in his thirties and he adores their cat as a comfort to him.<\/p>\n<p>So people with mental health issues do well to have a cat as their support animal.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading my blog.<br \/>\nPlease comment below and share my link.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Debbie Nicholson<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/catsinamedicallysupportiverolept5.m4a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here for your Audio link to this blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=DG9G3A3M6HCPW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/images\/life-happens-volume-1-3d.png\" alt=\"Life Happens Volume 1\" width=\"165\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Life Happens Volume 1 A Collection of Funny Emails and Facebook Messages Dating From The 1980s To 2012<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Favourite Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewellgroomedpet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cathy&#8217;s Well Groomed Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/debbie-nicholson\/mininginspacept1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Debbie&#8217;s Other Blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\/lifestyle\/cats-service-animals-laws-ada-emotional-support-therapy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emotional Support Therapy Cats<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cats<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/What-are-some-good-words-to-describe-a-cat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Describe A Cat<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/amisdechatbook2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amis de Chat Book 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=5QMBK9P5UQCEC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-174 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/506-694-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Amis de Chat\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Product Launch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cats In A Medically Supportive Role Pt 5 Cats really cannot be described as being a service animal as such.
