Our ESA treats our little/animal alter like her kitten
We have a legally recognized cat ESA called Domino, our little is incredibly shy, fully nonverbal and doesn’t see herself as remotely human. she fronts when she feels safe and when alone. That being said whenever she decides to front Domino has started immediately going to her side and guarding her, even going as far as grooming her hair relentlessly lol. And whenever they do get playful somehow she never comes out with a single scratch on the body (domino can get carried away when hyper and will often give us micro scratches) its honestly incredibly wholesome and helps us feel safe to let her fully front without worrying about her getting in danger :) and has also served as incentive to get her to front more and spend next time stuck in the mindscape!
