[quote=Anonymous]What therapeutic skills do you feel your cat will offer? I ask this as the mother of a child with multiple, complex disabilities who has years of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social skills therapy, and other types of therapy. It's wonderful that you want to give back to the community. But realistically, OP, your cat does not have skills that will be recognizable in the therapeutic setting. If you imagine your cat will be able to help people feel calm and comfortable and cheer them up, that's great, but that's not a therapeutic skill. And there is a huge problem in the disability community of "therapy animals" and the like distracting actual certified service animals on the job when they are trying to work.[/quote]
