Have a friend who is depressed and lives in a closet. No I’m not joking, the closet is a walk in and fits a small bed/desk/pc. That’s it, no windows. Skylight in the ceiling but it has a garbage bag taped over it. The mattress goes part way up the wall because room is small but it provides something to lean against. I gave him my cat a few years ago when I had to move and couldn’t take him. The cat still loves there 3 years later and my friend is happier than he was without Freddy
Look I don’t mean to be a jerk, but giving a guy who lives in a literal closet a cat to take care feels enormously cruel to both your friend and the cat. Like I’m glad it worked out for both of them in this specific case, but holy shit would I discourage it in literally any other.
Yeah trust me I wouldn’t have done it with anyone else. I’ve known the guy since elementary school. There is more to the apartment than the closet but my friend doesn’t use it as it’s shared space with his father (who isn’t nice). So my friend sticks to the closet and Freddy spends most his time in there too. His litter box is in the hallway outside
