This is Sunny, making me feel better after my gallbladder operation. I swear that cats can read minds.

Lovely. I wonder if animals see a kind of aura when we're ill. They'll find a scientific explanation one day unless it's pure feline intuition.

They’re observant lil’ critters. Even the slightest twinge off and they’ll pick up on it fast.

My cats know I’m sick before I do more often than not.

Beautiful Sunny. I’m convinced cats know when we’re suffering and will do their best to comfort us.

When my depression was at its worst, my lot seemed to make sure that there was always at least two of them with me. I credit that with being the reason I'm still alive.

What a lovely story about your cats and how they looked out for you. I hope you’re doing OK.

This is the kind of experience that gives the lie to the notion that cats are aloof. Such amazing beings.

Thank you. I'm thoroughly medicated these days so I am doing a lot better, I still have bad days, but nothing like it was.

Yeah, cats are incredible.

My cat once made himself my purring scarf once, when I had a bad flu.
