Cat Prescription

Chattanooga, Tennessee—(Wise Brother)

A doctor in Virginia saw a 67-year-old patient last month named Robin Sipe, who’d been dealing with depression . . . so he prescribed her a cat.

Her 15-year-old cat passed away recently, and he thought it was time for her to get another one.  He literally wrote down, “Get a cat.”  And she did.

On the way home from her appointment, Robin stopped to buy corn at a roadside stand, and they happened to have five kittens they were trying to adopt out.

One of them was missing a paw, and that’s the one she chose.  The doctor’s name is Earl King, so she named it “Earlene.”  She says the prescription worked.  She’s doing much better now.
