Izzy is your angel. She knows when you need her, and comes without being called. She lets you know when you need a "chill pill" and helps you to reassess the situation. She reminds you that you are at home, and everything will be alright. Izzy guards you to keep you safe from the anxiety that you brought back from the war. And what's more? She knows that's her calling in life. That's why she tags along with you whenever she can. It's love.

[@lisanadinebaker5179]

I have rescued cats for most of my adult life, which included having a small rescue house for several years. I never had more than 10 cats at a time, but having my own place allowed potential adopters to meet the cats in a quiet, relaxed place. I had veterans with PTSD issues come to see cats because my place was easier than going to a shelter or pet store. Each time, a cat (generally not the one they had in mind) would zero in on the person and just refuse to leave them alone. Both went on to be great companion support cats for their people. No matter how many times I see that happen, it never grows old.

He was by my side 24/7 and never so much as batted an eye when my daughter picked him up and treated him just like a baby doll......... I came home from work one day and my little girl brought him to me and said mommy grrr wont move....😱😭 i picked him up and he was limp. I cried like i had lost one of my children. We learned that my little girl had accidently broken his back when she was toting him around:( i said i would never own another cat, but 6 months after grrr passed my husband brought me a beautiful timid scared little solid black kitten i named him binx and he is my love.....he adopted binx from a shelter and we think he was abused.

Beautiful story. It made me cry. No one truly owns a cat, they belong to the neighborhood. RIP my tuxedo cat Mr. KITTARO KITTIMOTTO. He adopted me when I moved into my house. About a year later a neighbor called him Sylvester and I corrected him. That's when I found out that the people in the house next to me had abandoned him. He was a scrapper and pretty wild. One day he didn't come home and I just knew he died fighting. I am actually a dog person, But I sure loved Kitarro.👍❤🐱

@A Leopardess Sorry I don't care if you believe me or not. You don't seem to be street wise but Mr. Kittaro Kittimotto was very Street Wise. He couldn't be tricked. Before you try to lecture people you don't know try learning the proper term. No doubt, Kitarro was male. They get neutered not spayed. I told a part of a story. My story, of a wild cat that touched my heart. He picked me . I am a BIRD person and I had a Parrot. You will have to look up Paul Harvey if you want the rest of the story.🙊😄 Kittaro loved me and was grateful for the food and water I provided. Enough said. ✌❤🇺🇸

One of our cats chose us like Izzy chose this guy. My husband and I had gone to PetSmart to get food for our female cat and since we were looking to get her a kitten, we checked out the small display our local Humane Society had in the store. There was one kitten left so we asked to see it and the attendant was "well, he's really loud (and she wasn't kidding)" but she brought him out of his cage and handed him to me. He took one look at my husband, clawed his way across me and over my shoulder, jumped to my husband and mashed his entire face into my husband's neck and beard and, presto, we had a cat. Well, hubby had a cat. LOL The other cat who chose us was a barn cat from down the road a bit who left his farm because we found out later the owners there weren't caring for their barn cats. All but one of their cats left them over about a five month period. Anyway, this one, another male, came to our farm one day and set about the duties of a farm cat as though he were born and bred here. He wooed us by licking our ears and headbutting us when we'd be out in our hot tub, not to mention circling the house (and us when we were outdoors) singing us the song of his people at top volume. The final coup de grace came when he was in a fight with a coyote and ended up with his ear all but ripped off. He couldn't stay outdoors so we had his ear stitched up (kudos to Central Valley Animal Hospital in Bremerton, WA), and brought him indoors. He never left again. LOL Best barn cat ever.

Real men respect all life. Cats, dogs, ranch animals, etc. Hell I feel bad about felling live trees. I did 26 years in the AF. My last deployment included 18 working dogs and handlers. If not for them it would have been a mostly unbearable time. I've always been a dog guy. Recently we were chosen by a stray tomcat to be his people. Have no idea where he came from, already neutered and in pretty sad shape from living on his own. Figured he'd be a barn cat, but he stays in the house mostly now. I'm fortunate to have him and our two dogs. I relate more to them than most people. I appreciate these animals' honesty.

So, I informed her she had made someone VERY ANGRY and that's all it took. She then proceeded 2 remove out so we could pet him & the rest is History 🙏 so 2 speak. He's now 🐝 n with us over a year now. Little side note, I had actually seen his pic, in our local newspaper, as the pet of the week. It's a special weekly feature it does 2 hopefully get more ppl 2 adopt. I saw his pic & fell in love with him & said 2, his pic I would love 2 bring you home But wasn't sure could do it. We already had 2 & we live in a small apt. But guess he was 2 🐝 ours bc he's here now 4 good. Also after we adopted him we went back & adopted a Tuxedo named Misty. So, now we have 2 mancoons, 1 ginger, and 1 tuxedo. Yes, we're done 4 now. But they're like having 4 xtra kids.

In the early 1990s, I was station at Corry Station for A-School in Pensacola FL. There were several cats on the base and they were under the protection of the Executive Officer of the base. They were on pest control detail. One day at lunch, i noticed about two dozen sailors standing stone still by the Mail room. They were watching a base cat stalk a bird. He missed his prey when he pounced. Suddenly, the sailors started booing the cat. They figured no self respecting Navy Cat would miss his target and that belong on the other side of the base with the Air Force members.

Awesome! I love cats also! It makes sense to me this fellow growing up with a cat or cats and coming back from Iraq and having a cat be therapeutic and help him calm down from anger, possible PTSD… Wonderful!

Grew up off the farm with a string of dogs. Today after decades of kicking down doors retired now I have three companion cats. Little, Peanut amd Mother. I'm not a real civilian people person but I'm "ALL" cat person. 😼👍😉

Every single day I have the privilege of having my beautiful fur children to love and cuddle. I completely understand how animals are so loyal and comforting. They never judge you or speak badly to you. Izzy is extremely blessed to have a family that loves her so much and definitely another extension of this family .
