There is a symbiosis.

I will say in defense of the cats world they same condition exists where they are chemically and emotional connected to us, recognizing our patterns and behaviors and when there is a shift away from the normal due to stress or emotional changes.

Pets are a tremendous support, even when there are other humans and around, partly because any verbal communication is one way, allowing us the space to ‘get it all out’ uninterrupted.

Good point. I thought about talking about cats but that’s a whole other topic. One of my friends had a full grown pig that serves a similar purpose.
