A new study published in the CABI journal Human-Animal Interactions suggests that companion animals—including dogs, cats, fish and birds—do not significantly benefit the emotional health of owners with severe mental illness.
How about cats? As a rule they tend to bean easier pet and happier to be purely indoors if you live somewhere that isn’t safe to let them out/have a catio. I find having cats help my mental health.
Sorry to hear you were with someone who abused animals though, that’s awful.
I love cats, but I’m even more wildly allergic to them. I not allergic to horses and to sheep, and that’s about it. But it takes more than a wish to own either of those.

My condolences. Perhaps a reptile or a rodent then, some are friendly and like to chill but are not for everyone.
