The two cats who live with us (actually, we're their valets) are more intuned with me than I am, sometimes. If I'm going through a bad patch, they insist (thank God) on staying close, almost in shifts, and making physical contact. The same thing happens when my husband is having a migraine. Not terribly long ago, he underwent a surgical procedure that required cautious care for 72 hours, and there was a "fur-covered pill" next to him, again in shifts, until the 72 hours passed. Almost as if they knew the doc's orders, when the time was up and he could resume his normal activities, so did they. He took an extra day to rest and they checked in on him periodically, but it wasn't the constant companion attention they gave him during the 72 hour period. They're incredibly comforting and I'm thankful they've chosen us as their people.
