What About a Cat Carrying Backpack?

NAS64980

Hello folks, I have an autistic child in our family and I read in a 2018 study here https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5862067/ called "Affectionate Interactions of Cats with Children Having Autism Spectrum Disorder" that having and playing with a cat might help and is an important therapeutic method in kids development. 

I was wondering, if giving a cat carrying backpack like one of these mentioned here https://petsomely.com/10-best-cat-backpack-carriers for Christmas might help this child a little. What do you think? Do you have any experience with animal therapy?

Thanks for your thoughts.

  • My cat would hate to be in a back pack and would scratch and hiss, shes quite independant as most cats are. They pretty much treat your house as a hotel haha go in and out as they please, you can only stroke them when they decide otherwise they get cross. my other cat is scared of people appart from us, so taking her further than my front garden would stress her beyond belief
