We’ve all heard of cats waking their family when fire breaks out in the home. We’ve seen videos of cats fending off coyotes, saving a child from a dog attack, and protecting her kittens from an intruding animal, for example. And we’ve all heard that cats are thought to be therapeutic just because they’re cats. Studies show that being around a cat can lower your blood pressure, for example.
Some cats seem to tune into our emotions and show compassion when we’re hurting. My Himalayan, Katy, was like that. When I cried, she was the best comfort ever. She’d always push her sweet face against mine and pat me with those great big paws of her. She had 
tons of compassion. Not all cats seem to.
Did you know there’s actually a registry for emotional support cats? It’s true. You can obtain registry for your cat 
who might be helpful with a family member’s PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, etc. Most of us find comfort in our cats—in fact it’s hard to define what our cats bring into our lives. But apparently the ordinary cat, without any training whatsoever, can become a registered emotional support animal that can enjoy many privileges. A registered emotional support cat will be accepted into an apartment complex where pets are unwelcome. They can fly with their human free. Now as to whether they can fly in the cabin with you—that is something that’s being highly debated lately with the event of so many people coming out of the woodwork and trying to travel with peacocks, pigs, and other more exotic animals which they claim are service or support animals.
