Note that the article supports your point:

the number of cats at home had a negative effect on depression (p = 0.021).

Suggesting that getting a cat is a good idea for someone concerned about depression. Of course, it may be that depressed people are less willing to take on the responsibility of pet ownership.

Interesting, but the phrasing means that the more cats you have the less subject to depression you are ?

I think you will start to see diminishing returns after 2 cats.

Yes, that is why it is "[s]uggesting getting a cat is a good idea for someone concerned about depression"
