I've been telling my friends and family for the longest time now that my cat is in tune with my emotions and wellness. The non-pet owners shrug their shoulders and sometimes do an eye-roll but my friends who love pets get it!! Recently, I was very sick and hospitalized for about a week. This was a very random experience for me and my cat has never really seen me in this state. The entire time I was out of work and agonizing in pain, my precious kitty sat by my side and stared at me as though she knew I was not myself and wanted to help. Every once in awhile, she would rub her head against mine, almost marking her territory. This is something she ordinarily does not do and has not since my recovery. It's as though she just has a sixth sense to instinctively know that something wasn't right.
