Yash Pandit drew this heartwarming comic about how his cat Bagheera helps with his depression. 😻 While this is a personal anecdote, it is proven that pets, especially dogs and cats, can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, ease loneliness, encourage exercise and playfulness, and even improve your cardiovascular health!

my cat
does this
for me
i rant to her
i cry while petting her
if anxious she will leap onto my lap and demand pets
she wakes me in the morning to feed her
she helps me relax and take breaks by walking across whatever i am doing at the moment in order to grab my attention
she’s amazing
