Emotional Support Cat

An emotional support cat is a宠物 that provides comfort and companionship to individuals experiencing emotional or mental health challenges, such as anxiety or depression. Unlike service animals trained for specific tasks, emotional support cats offer psychological benefits simply through their presence, helping improve mood and reduce stress. They are recognized under certain laws that allow them to accompany their owners in housing and travel environments, although they do not have the same rights as service animals. The primary role of an emotional support cat is to offer consistent companionship and emotional stability to support mental well-being.
