Billy and Fraser are separable

Four-year-old Fraser Booth, who is autistic, would have a tough time even with everyday activities, which would often result in tears and tantrums.

Fraser was diagnosed with autism when he was 18 months old after Mrs Booth, 38, and her electrician husband, Chris, 43, noticed he was not developing as quickly as other children his age.

But even since Billy the stray cat came into his life, Fraser parents have witnessed a miraculous change in their son. Since their first meeting,  the cat has helped bring Fraser out of his shell, reported the Daily Mail.

Billy is the first to sense when Fraser is getting frustrated, and calms him down with a cuddle or the touch of a paw. Fraser’s mother Louise, who lives in Aberdeenshire, said, “Billy has made a complete difference to our family life, he’s taken away the stress, he’s added happiness, he’s just been amazing.”
