Does your cat help you fight off depression

cat companionship
SleepyJ asked:

I asked the same question and posted it in Pets-Other and Dogs section – I’m being more pet type specific so please don’t get upset if you see this more than once….Thanks!

I’m taking a quick survey for a paper I’m writing tonight – any input would be appreciated and even quoted.

So does your cat help you fight off depression or symptoms of depression?

Do you feel like your cat’s companionship/affection is helpful and sufficient?

Are you less focused on your depression because of the amusement you get from your cat (funny, active, etc)?
