Many people think if you get a well-paying job, you should be happy. The problem with that myth is that if you’re not doing what you want, you’ll never be happy. One man had a good job, a nice house, and a relationship, yet he still felt unhappy and depressed. That’s when he decided to dump it all and roam around Australia with his black cat named Willow.

With the company of Willow, this man soon found that his life had meaning and a purpose. Willow helped him cope with his confusion and eventually led him to a far better life with a new woman who he married. As every cat owner can tell you, having a cat can help you cope with life better than you could ever do alone.
