How many of you think it's important to have pet's?

Pets in general are awesome. I have a cat that I rescued (she was abandoned on my road) she was brutally beaten and tortured, not fed, whiskers burnt, hair torched. I started having seizures a little over a year ago. She now can tell when I have them, she licks my face, trying to wake me up out of it, and sometimes it works! Also, she can tell when I don't feel right (auras ) cause she curls right up to me and follows me everywhere. Literally won't leave my side even when I go to sleep, she curls up to my head usually when I feel like that. Even though she's not "trained" animals can definitely sense things like that

That's why there are Dogs trained to help EPILEPTIC's who are able to sense when You are about to have an SZ and warn You so You can do something to prevent from happening or if You do SZ go get help. Don't know about CATS.
