Yes, cats too can get depressed and this may be due to an environmental change such as something changing in its environment, it can be seasonal depression and the cat could be depressed due to climate change in having to be inside or it could be clinically depressed in which i suggest making a lifestyle change for your cat such as new food or playing with it more, etc.

Nothing. I can't remember the exact quote right now, but I believe one of ThunderClan's medicine cats once said something the the effect of: "I can heal her body but not her mind." If necessary they can give poppy seeds to calm cats down, but there is no cure for depression.

Why do your cats cure your depression or make you feel better about yourself?

The reasons that your cats HELP with your depression, is because they are someone who is there for you, probably constantly too. Depressed people tend to need or want somebody or something to be there for them, to make them happy. In this case, your cats make you happy because they give you company, probably like a best friend to you. It doesn't CURE your depression though. If you are seeing that you are having a hard time with that, you need to go to your doctor and talk to him/her about it.
