This Airport Cat Saved My Worst Travel Day
So I'm having the absolute worst travel day at Denver airport—delayed flight, missed connection, full-blown anxiety spiraling. I'm sitting there trying not to cry when this orange tabby just... appears. Walks right up, hops on the seat next to me, and starts purring like we're old friends.
Turns out this is Xeli, Denver's only therapy cat. Yeah, apparently airports have therapy animals now, and honestly? Game changer. While everyone expects dogs to be friendly, having a cat choose YOU feels different. Like you've been personally selected for comfort.
Xeli just sat there letting me pet her while I waited for my rebooking. No judgment, no questions, just pure feline zen energy. By the time my new flight was called, my panic had completely melted away.
Who knew the cure for travel anxiety was getting adopted by an airport cat? Now I'm genuinely considering booking layovers through Denver just for the cat therapy.
