Cats are known as the most therapeutic healers over the decades in an adorable furry form. Do you still remember a grey kitty who saved a man’s life with a diabetic coma? This went viral for a while for the cat’s bravery and a high sense of intuition, most people love living with a cat because of that reason. Moreover, their purrs are the most powerful weapon that can help us reduce depression, long-term illness, even a stroke. Another beneficial reason for living with a cat is their warmth. Their body temperature is higher than ours and it brings calm and a stable state of mind for us, especially for the elderly.

A few months ago, Kelly Nugent’s father was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer and she decided to be close to him and help
Knowing her dad was suffering from severe bone marrow cancer, Kelly Nugent hit the road, packed her stuff ( the pack included two adorable Scottish Fold cats), and moved from Miami to New York, stayed with her sick dad to help him get through the treatment. Nugent gave all the credit to one of her cats with the coolest name Sweet Potato (Tato in short) since he was always by his grandpa’s side no matter what.
So she packed her stuff and her two cats and moved to New York

“It’s just the sweetest thing you could ever see because I know [Sweet Potato] can sense something’s wrong and that he’s needed.” – Nugent added.
“So he kind of just stepped up to the plate and was like, ‘This is my job now. I’m gonna help heal you.’ It’s like he knew.”
After one of the cats named Sweet Potato acclimated, he revealed the true reason he was there and that was to support his sick grandpa
Nugent’s dad now has a loyal and purrfect friend who loves to be the sweetest emotional supporter. They even look alike with a little white mustache!

It seemed like Sweet Potato knew that something was wrong and became an instant therapy cat
“So my dad has a recliner that he sits in and he’ll put his arm on the recliner, and every single time, without fail, Sweet Potato will jump up and sit in the little cove in his arm and cuddle with him. He’ll sleep in his bed or in his room. Whenever my dad’s on the computer, [Sweet Potato will] jump on his keyboard. Whenever my dad is sitting at the table to do some of his paperwork, Sweet Potato will sit on the paperwork. He just has to be on top of him.” – Tato’s owner shared.
Nugent’s dad considered himself a dog person until Sweet Potato changed his mind
