I agree with your idea. Animal therapy is soothing. I had a parakeet. Having him around was always a kind of therapy.cluthrie wrote: ↑01 Aug 2020, 20:03 Personally I like animal therapy. Animals are so calming to be around. I know horse therapy can be effective for a lot of people. Alas, I don't have a horse, but I do have a cat.
Petting a cat is so relaxing, especially when you have one curled up and purring in your lap.
