Sammy the cat attends university every day to give students soothing snuggles

Forget nap pods and yoga sessions – this is the only form of de-stressing we want in our universities.
For years, the University of Augsburg in Bavaria, southern Germany, has played host to a very special visitor: a little ginger cat whose only mission is to give students soothing snuggles.
To be clear, the cat hasn’t been hired by the university’s staff. She just started popping on to campus when she was one year old, realised she liked hanging around with students, and has been paying the university a visit every day since then.
Her owner lives just nearby and has no issue with the cat spending her days helping out the students, who call the cat Sammy or The Campus Cat.
Sammy now knows many of the students, and will always run to them to sit on their lap and cuddle up.
During each daily trip to the campus, Sammy enjoys lounging outside in the sun. But her favourite spot in the library, where she can check in on stressed out students revising for exams and offer support.
