You may even get a note from your doctor stating that she is your therapy animal since having to be sepreated from a pet you have had that long would sure distress you and there IS a lot to be said about purr therapy and the comfort they bring during bad times. If I tried to explaine that to a doctor of mine, I would really be upset and bawling like a baby at the thought of having to give up my pets and they would clearly see that it was not to MY benifit to have to be sepreated from them.
