Discovered something wild last week: my anxious mess of a brain actually shuts up when my cat purrs on my chest. Like, completely silent. No racing thoughts about deadlines or that embarrassing thing I said in 2019. Started playing cat purring videos during work calls (muted, obviously), and suddenly I'm the calmest person in meetings. My stress levels dropped faster than my cat knocks things off counters. The irony? This is the same demon who wakes me at 3 AM demanding treats and knocks over my coffee daily. But somehow, that rumbling little engine in her chest is better than any meditation app I've tried. Turns out the best mental health support comes with whiskers, judgment, and zero insurance copay. Who knew my emotional support animal was literally just... being a cat? #Pets #Cats #CatASMR
