This Cat 'Talking' About Everything He Does for His Human Starts Funny, but Ends Up Being So Sweet
We're all familiar with the "who saved who" magnets and decorative pillows that rescue animal parents love to have around the house.
Our cats, dogs and other pets do so much for us, but this video from Ringo Danyan, a cat on YouTube, really drives the point home.

"Things I do for my human and she doesn't even realize," the voiceover starts. "My human thinks she takes care of me because she feeds me and takes me to the vet, but the truth is, I'm the one taking care of her."
It starts funny, but by the end, we're tearing up!

"I wake her up early, because someone has to teach her discipline," Ringo's voiceover continues. "I follow her to the bathroom, so she doesn't get kidnapped."
From here, things start to make us a little misty-eyed.
"I sit right next to her while she works, so she can take a break from the screen," the voiceover says. "When she's sad or sick, I never leave her side. I'm not just her cat, I'm her routine, her calm, her safe place."
"Yeah Ringo is definitely Meowmy's boy," one commenter says.
"Ringo is the best emotional support fur baby," another agrees.
"Sweet Ringo is a loving son," one more adds. "His mom is a lucky human."

What Are Emotional Support Cats Trained to Do?
Unlike their dog counterparts, emotional support cats aren't trained to help you find your keys or get your medication for you when you're stuck in bed. Instead, these comfy little muffins are there to help you feel better in times of need.
Emotional support cats provide physical comfort in the form of snuggly love, purring on your lap to help reduce stress and anxiety.
They encourage routine, just as Ringo says in this video, forcing their humans to stick to a daily schedule that benefits both the animal and the person.
Many folks who struggle with anxiety attacks, loneliness, OCD symptoms and other emotional and mental maladies can gain a lot from having a furry friend who counts on them and offers comfort in those moments where things seem hard. Cats' well-tuned instincts can tell when a cuddle session can make all the difference.
Ringo is certainly a good kitty, and he really knows how to help his mom out!
