The cat equipped with an “Emotional Support String” becomes a dependable source of psychological support.
She was quite timid and shy when Pesto’s mother initially adopted her. Before being saved, she endured a great deal, so she needed some time to adjust before she felt totally at ease. Fortunately, her mother was more than happy to give her that separation.
I then wrapped a catnip toy to it. She started carrying a shoelace around the home a few [of] years ago, and I noticed it. I merely started referring to the shoelace as “Pesto’s string” or her “emotional support string” when she initially brought it to me while I was asleep.
Pesto is very aware of how much her emotional support strings help her when she’s feeling stressed or anxious, so when she senses her mom is dealing with the same emotions, she knows exactly what to do.
Pesto has been through a lot in her short life — but as long as she has her mom and her strings, there’s really nothing she can’t handle.
