Don't worry there is a small group of posters who love trying to start an argument and we all know it's actually one person with about 5 accounts...

Care to share this information? In other words money where mouth is.

Don't take it to heart your cats have more brain matter than them....:)

I didn't know this - who is it and what are the other names that they use? How do you work it out?

So you believe the OP has assistance cats and is the only person on controlled drugs to e told they can't be left by themselves. Each to their own I suppose. personally I like a bit of consistency and believability.

I've seen this to many times on forums over the year someone starts a story then when questioned on a few things mistakes creep in and the explanations for those inconstancies get wilder and more convoluted. The OP is wasting your time and your advice could be better given to someone who actually needs it. Not some numpty of a troll

You can hardly interpret what the OP said as calling them "assistance cats" in the same way dogs are often employed as such. However, cats are very sensitive to their owners well-being and a very close bond can be formed with them. I have an incredibly close bond with my own two and in times of crisis have actually sent one to go seek help from another family member, so it can happen! Or are you going to now call me crazy, delusional and a troll :rotfl:

As for the controlled drugs thing, it's very likely the OP has misunderstood why he/she signs the form and has thus believed this to be the case until someone here questioned it. You forget that people with Aspergers/Autism often take things very literally, in a way that many of us wouldn't comprehend.

That is so VERY true, and the reason why I never questioned it, nor questioned the cats.

Same here but there's always those that are ready to jump on every minute detail in an attempt to discredit the OP. It's tantamount to bullying in my eyes and it sickens me to the core, especially when it's directed toward vulnerable individuals. I've seen it happen time and again on this forum, and it's always the same core posters who are involved

It's disgusting. Some people have no thought of how their posts can come across to the OP. Even if they do think that he's a troll, what if he's genuine? I don't know if it makes people feel better posting some of the vitriol that they do.

I've obviously heard of guide dogs for the blind, do you think you could start something similar with the OP! Assistance cats for, well I'm not sure.

Cats are used as service animals - do a google search. They are intelligent creatures and more than capable of being trained.

Pat Gonser, founder of Pets and People: Companions in Therapy & Service, started doing therapy work with one of her cats in the 1990s. She says that many people do not like dogs, but they need a service animal. These people can use a service cat instead. These service felines are able to alert when there is imminent danger. To alert you, the cat may paw at you or sit on your chest.

Misunderstood pet: Though one veteran was prescribed a service cat for PTSD, he has been initially denied access to numerous public places.

Corpus Christi, Texas —- A Vietnam veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder received an unconventional prescription in July.

“ John McGahey needs a service pet,” his physician wrote. “He plans on using a cat. This pet is allowed to travel with Mr. McGahey anywhere.”

The last part of the prescription has been the toughest to fill. The 53-year-old former medical corpsman has been denied access to some public places with Patch, his 6-month-old white male service cat.

“ It’s not like I’m trying to take an alligator with me,” McGahey said. “I just want people to know service animals can be other than dogs.”
