I never knew they had cats that would help prisoners. That’s lovely!
And as you wrote, healing.
Tonight when I’m in bed, I put earphones on and will watch the vids you’ve put up.
There’s so many special stories I (and others) could share.
When I was very little I had a dog and cat that followed me everywhere. They were my companions. I lived in an isolated country area with no nearby neighbourhood kids, but I wouldn’t know as I had my “buddies”

To this day I’m never alone. Birds chirping, ducks walking past, kangaroos in the paddocks, cockatoos squawking like crazy, kookaburras laughing, ringtail possums ruining my lemons

and rabbits running around galore! That sticky nose visiting black cat with the white chinny chin. And an echidna burrowing in the dirt… they are the cutest!
And horses nearby too in neighbours property.
