If Cats Were Therapists? It's As Hilarious As It Sounds

There's no getting over the Internet's obsession with cats, not anytime soon, anyway. We challenge you to scroll through your newsfeed without coming across a single cat post. From videos to memes to cartoons, these furry felines have slowly but surely taken over the World Wide Web. In fact, ThoughtCatalog has even described cats as the 'unofficial mascots of the Internet.' But while cats are excellent company for when you want to be snubbed and scratched, what other roles can they play? Twitter decided to find out with the hashtag 'If Cats Were Therapists.'

As expected, the tweets under #IfCatsWereTherapists range from funny to cute to mean and everything in between. Most people have played up the idea that cats are self-centred creatures who would not make for ideal therapists, but some have imagined a happier outcome. See for yourself:
