I have yet to talk to anyone these days who doesn’t experience anxiety. In times like these, every little tool we can utilize to create at least some peace for ourselves is fair game. When I came across these Cards Against Anxiety cards, I just had to share them with you, because who better than cats to teach us a thing or two about remaining calm.
If you’re not familiar with these types of self-help card decks, it works like this: you shuffle the cards, and then randomly pick one card. The message is almost always exactly what you needed to hear in that moment.
Cats Against Anxiety Card features
- Each card features an uplifting message delivered by a cute cat.
- 50 cards with 50 messages modeled on cognitive behavior principles recommended by mental health professionals.
- Wallet size cards can be taken everywhere.
- Each card can give you a little mindfulness boost in the middle of an anxiety provoking situation
The card I pulled just now while I was writing this review read “All is Well,” a message I really needed to hear. The explanation read “We often exxaggerate a negative experience and blow it out of proportion. Take a moment and become aware of this when it happens.” I might as well stick that card in my pocket and carry it with me every day, it fits my current mindset so well!

If you need extra support to help you with anxiety, Reiki is a wonderful modality. It promotes relaxation, reduces stress and improves overall well being. I offer remote sessions for cats and humans. For more information, visit https://pethealing.net/
I love this and I’ll definitely be getting a set. I have stage four metastatic breast cancer and although I’m currently stable, I’ll be on chemotherapy the rest of my life. I have anxiety, and I think these cards will help with that, especially when I have to have scans and echocardiograms.
My two cats. Lola Bean and Peanut help when I’m anxious too.
I hope the cards will bring a bit of relaxation and some smile when you need them, Judith. All my best to you!
What a wonderful thing for myself but for all my cat friends! Thanks for the review.
Cute cats with great wisdom.
I think everyone is know needs these, not just cats or dogs. I just hope we all survive.
this is such a great idea.
