Cats have this meowsterious and magical gift: they always know when their humans need comfort. A soft paw on the lap, a perfectly timed cuddle, or just their soothing purrs—our feline friends are natural emotional support expurrts. They may not have a fancy degree, but a cat’s love is the best medicine of all.

Here at I Can Has Cheezburger, we went around the office and asked our own expurrt cat pawrents about the times their cats became their little therapspspsts. The answers warmed our hearts and reminded us how special this bond really is.

Here are some of our favorite ameowzing stories:

– “My cat lies across my laptop when I’m stressed at work; it’s like she’s forcing me to take a break.”

– “He licked my tears away after a bad breakup. Sticky, but effective.”

– “When I was really sick, my kitty didn’t leave my side for two weeks straight.”

– “She always knows when my anxiety is up; she’ll come flop on my chest until I calm down.”

– “After my dad passed, my cat slept curled against me every night for months.”

– “Whenever I cry, my cat fetches a toy and drops it at my feet like he’s trying to cheer me up.”

– “She starts purring the second she sees me come home from a rough day.”

– “He wakes me up with nose boops when I oversleep; it’s his way of keeping me on track.”

These heartfelt stories remind us just how incredible the bond between humans and their cats can be—filled with love, comfort, and a little bit of magic.
