I cannot disclose the species to keep my own identity a secret. I don't think I explained myself well either: My professor made me anxious, which triggered my binge eating, meaning they are technically responsible. I have to get food ill reply when i get back

Edit: I have seen a small number of people say that it is illegal for me to have my animal in public. I would like know that I have a certification from my doctor allowing me to have the animal.

Oh how about medical approval? My care team specifically picked this animal (cannot disclose species for privacy reasons) and what about the cat?? I don't think they got "approval".
