5 Reasons Fostering Kittens During Self-Isolation Was a Great Decision For My Mental Health

Cats might be good at acting stealthy and sneaking up on you so frequently that you nearly trip over them 10 times a day, but they will also make themselves heard when they want something. While I wouldn't have expected cats to be supervocal creatures, Josie and Jolie taught me that they can do a lot more than meow.

They can chirp, squeak, mew, and even make noises that sound surprisingly human. Responding to their calls and giving them the attention they needed when they asked for it kept me busy and gave me someone to interact with. Even if they couldn't respond in a way I understood when I spoke to them, they were there to listen and their company made the days go by so much faster.
