I have had pets all my life. I grew up with gerbils and hamster and my nans dog, then I got a dog of my own but due to personal circumstances, I don't have him any more. Now I have my cat and we also have my stepmums dog.
I have always found having pets around has helped me, when i'm upset I talk to my cat or just look at him or just cuddle him and it makes me feel so much better. It's nice to know pets have unconditional love for you and will always be there for you.
I found it really hard when I was at uni and I wasn't allowed to have any pets due to the University Accomodation guidelines and I felt incredibly lonely. Just having my cat around makes me feel like i'm not alone.
I've found there is just something soothing about being around your pet.
