I tell people that I have ailurotherapy at home. This consists of daily massages by my cat Sylvester. My other cat, Marley, sleeps on my bed at night and follows me when I visit neighbours, so I think of her as my 'bodyguard'.
Does anyone else have a ludricrously affectionate cat or dog, like Sylvester?
Just saw your story and it brought me a smile. Don't have pets ourselves but my doctor just prescribed me some ecotherapy to cope with stress (i.e. go for a walk especially if you can do it in sunlight) and while I have been doing that have met lots of dog walkers and often they are happy to have a good sniff and a stroke - one today was delighted to to drop their ball at my feet.
We used to have cats when I was young but often lost them when we moved, my dad was in the RAF. My wife meanwhile was a dog person at they had a welsh border collie called Julie and they were inseparable - Janice even describes her as her baby walker and claims she learnt to walk by grabbing on to her fur.
