When Your Cat Becomes Everyone’s Therapist

So, I woke up to a photo of my sister’s cat looking like he’s about to give a TED Talk on surviving Monday mornings. Honestly, I don’t even have a cat, but somehow this little guy’s existential stare through the window made me feel seen. Is it just me, or do pets have this uncanny ability to mirror our exact mood? Like, I’m here spiraling about my to-do list, and this cat is probably contemplating the meaning of the red dot. I sent the pic to my group chat and now everyone’s projecting their life crises onto this cat. One friend said, “He looks like he just realized he’s out of treats.” Another: “That’s the face I make when my boss schedules a 4:59pm meeting.” Anyway, shoutout to all the pets out there for being our emotional support squad, whether they know it or not. #Pets #Cats #PetTherapy
