There are animals that are recognized, legally, as your Emotional Support Animals. Those animals can be cats, dogs, birds or any animal who is signed by your doctor or psychiatrist who helps you relieve emotional distress.
Right now the ADA is working on the laws regarding ESA's and their owners. Please see
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/1/prweb10377254.htm.
This means that they are considered a step above being your pets. They provide emotional support for you. That means that they are considered to be support animals.
When your animal is an ESA for your or your loved ones or both, landlords have to consider them when you move. That's by law. When they don't accept pets, they have to accept an ESA just like a service animal.
ESA's also get to ride for free with you, on the plane, in the cabin section, underneath your seat. Not in the cargo section where they can get injured, killed or lost.
My cat is the love of my life and a legal ESA, for me. How many of you share this with me or would like to learn more about this?
PS: This in no way means that your pets can not do this for you. They certainly can and will do it.
