One of the things we love most about this job is hearing stories about how cats helped people overcome things in their lives. That may sound silly to you, but having something to love and take care of can do wonders for a person. Never underestimate the power of the motherly (or fatherly) instinct! One Reddit user took to the interwebz and asked fellow cat connoisseurs, "How has your relationship with a cat benefitted your life?" Get some tissues, because this one is a real tear-jerker!
These cat-themed heartwarming stories in this post are truly awwww-spirational! There aren't your everyday wholesome cat adoption stories, these are stories of people with real, serious problems, and how their cats literally saved their lives. It's wholesome, it's adorable, and it made us cry just a little bit. It's purrfectly feel-good. But, if this ends up being too much of a downer, be sure to check out some hilarious cat memes to liven up the mood!

Story time! Once we were cooking dinner and we were wearing a loose hoodie. We turned around to get something else and the back of our hoodie caught fire from the stove. Our cat noticed immediately and started screaming at us. If it weren't for her we would have gotten seriously burned!
Where are the tissues?? We need a whole box to process how absolutely crazily adorable this comment is. It's so true. We will do anything for our pets. They make us better people, more giving, more responsible. Please pass the tissues, and keep 'em coming!
