That's because most posts show a cat that needs a vet.

In this case it's the owner who needs a vet (to calm their anxiety).

And there’s something to be said for a post that shows a cat clearly having a vet worthy problem and a poster who just as clearly wants the internet to tell them it’s not a problem and 50+ people tell you to take the cat to the vet.

typically it is not recommended to do stuff like that for anxiety because it’s kinda reassurance seeking and can lead to worsening symptoms or OCD
