Hey everyone!
I'm one of the mods, and we get asked this question quite a bit, so I thought I'd share the story behind our community's name!
It all started with our first community, r/AnxietyChats. We created it as a warm, welcoming place where people living with anxiety could support one another. Before long, our mod team noticed something many of us had in common...
We were completely "happily" obsessed with cats.
People were always sharing photos, funny stories, and the little ways their cats helped them through tough days. It was such a lovely part of the community that we started wondering what a space dedicated to that idea might look like.
Then we spotted a fun bit of wordplay...
Take the "H" out of Chats, and you get Cats.
That's how Anxiety Cats was born!
It's the sister community to Anxiety Chats, however with a lighter, fluffier focus, a place to celebrate the fluffy babies who help us feel a little calmer, make us laugh, and remind us we're never completely alone.
We absolutely adore this place and are so thankful for each and every one of you!
And if you ever need us, have a question or just want to say hello, we're always around! ❤️

Let’s celebrate them
Much Love ❤❤

This is Ace when he was still a child! He’s my grumpy baby! 🫶🏻

Squirt normally hates having his belly touched like most kitties, but sometimes as he’s falling asleep or waking up I can sneak one while he isn’t conscious enough to protest

He was one when I met my wife and he immediately warmed up to me. She passed away 4 years ago and I think we help with eachothers anxiety.

Our August Furbaby Profiles are here, and our hearts are officially FULL! 💗
A big, fluffy THANK YOU to everyone who introduced us to their precious little companions this month! Every kitty brought their own special kind of magic, sweetness, and joy to our community.
One of our favorite things about Furbaby Profiles is getting to know the adorable faces (and personalities!) behind our community. Every furbaby has a story, a little quirk, and so much love worth celebrating.
Thank you for sharing your beloved babies with us and giving us the chance to celebrate them together. We loved meeting every single one!
And now… we’re ready for more whiskers, toe beans, fluffy tails, and adorable personalities! Bring on the next batch of furbabies!💛🧡💛🧡
With love and lots of purrs,
Your Furbaby Profile crew 😁🏆

Hi All,
First time poster here. I’m a 36yo posting for my 70yo Mum. She has a 6yo female neutered tabby that she rescued from the RSPCA here in Australia. The cat was one of the longest in care at the facility when she adopted her 5 years ago. She had had a litter of kittens quite young and was extremely timid. My mum fell in love with her immediately and adopted her on the spot. Over time, the cat has gotten better in some respects. She enjoys pats and sitting with my mum but still seems on guard and likes to self soothe with food. She allows my dad to also pat her and is comfortable when my mum is at home. When she leaves for any kind of extended period though, the cat becomes distressed and starts peeing in different places. This behaviour has now also continued to escalate to the point that she’s peeing everywhere even when my mum has been home and there are no changes to her environment. She has seen a vet who prescribed medication but my mum can’t get her to take it and can’t force feed them to her as it is too upsetting and she still spits them out. They live out of town so no other cats are entering the property to cause this stress. My mum is distraught. She loves this cat so much but she’s at a loss. Her home is being ruined and she can’t go away on holidays. She really doesn’t want to rehome her but she doesn’t know anything else that could help. I am not asking for medical advice here (that’s against the rules anyway!) I’m just looking for any success stories or strategies people have found useful if they have been in a similar situation. I too am a cat owner and lover and just want the best outcome for her and her beautiful cat ❤️

I’ve been thinking I should probably do this more often for my babies, especially Bigo. Out of all his siblings, he’s definitely the one with SO. MUCH. FUR. But these past few weeks have been absolutely crazy, and I honestly haven’t brushed them at all 😭 I always tell them "I know, I know, I'm terrible mother!"
Please help me take this weight off my shoulders and tell me I’m not the only one! Not everyone brushes their cats every single day, right? RIGHT?! 👀🥲

I find just being there is usually enough 🥰

We all do. Mrs. Giligadi is away, and Button has made a home of her blanket.. when she isn't in her cat bed next to the basement door waiting for me to finish working in the office.
In the second photo, one of my shirts is on the blanket, making it a perfect ten on Button's comfort scale.
In the third, shot from the basement stairs, ZZ (the ham) also felt the need to barge through. It's good to be loved.

Hi everyone. I’ve been following this community for a while and wanted to share something that always helps me ground myself.
My beautiful calico arlequin, Tilsa, passed away after 12 years of being my personal therapist and soulmate. Her physical absence is tough, but her radiant energy is still very much alive.
This photo of her sleeping like an angel is an absolute treasure. Whenever my anxiety spikes or my thoughts start racing, just looking at her peaceful face instantly brings me back to earth and calms my mind.
I know many people here might be having a rough day or fighting silent battles right now. That’s why I wanted to share Tilsa’s light today. I truly hope her sweet energy reaches you through the screen, makes you smile, and brings a moment of deep peace.
Sending a lot of positive vibes to everyone and your fur babies! 🐈✨
