Stacey shared the "Cats As Anti-Depressants" meme, which she found as a sticker available for purchase.
She paraphrased this quote during our conversation and shared the exact words and source: From the Walker Percy novel, "The Moviegoer." “Suicide is the only thing that keeps me alive. Whenever everything else fails, all I have to do is consider suicide and in two seconds I’m as cheerful as a nitwit. But if I could not kill myself – ah, then, I would.”
