My cat is definitely responsible for making me feel better. I love to pick her up against her wishes, inhale her clean cat fur smell, and hold her until she makes little squeaks of protest. I know she loves me back because she doesn't run very far away when I finally release her.
Or maybe it's because I'm her can opener.
Which is a very flippant way of saying that our pets give us very real and substantial comfort. They can't talk back to us but they convey their love very well.
