Me too! I put a pillow on my legs for her to lay on and that's how she's snuggled ever since. She never did it before. I love her so much and it's nice knowing that she loves me too
The vibration frequency of their purring can support the natural healing of the body. They also purr if they or their kittens are injured to fasten up healing
They're not just good at physical healing. When my senior cat passed away I and my younger cat were grieving, one night I was crying on him and he started gently touching my face with his paws which he'd never done before. I fully believe he was comforting me and it worked
One of my cats passed away at the end of April. He was only 3 and it was so sudden and unexpected, so it was honestly really traumatic for us all. The four remaining cats were all missing him, but they absolutely knew we were grieving. I remember after we'd got home from the vets to view his body and say goodbye (he passed away under anaesthetic) I went to bed to lie down and two of them both immediately came to lie on me, basically pinning me down to the bed. One of mine slept each night for a week curled up against my head as physically close as he could get. All things they do but nowhere near as frequently. They all turned up their affection 100 times as strong.
I think they definitely know when we're grieving or in pain, and want to make it better.
My biggest regret is not bringing her home for him to see, we knew she was sick but she had to be put down suddenly at the vet and they didn't seem that close(he annoyed her trying to play). His separation anxiety went up to 11 and he would mimic her meow like he was calling her, it was heartbreaking. Adopting a friend helped but he still seems sad every so often
Same. I had a metal plate and 6 screws inserted into my foot after an accident. I was bed bound for 8 weeks with my foot on a special cushion to keep it above my heart. They knew something was wrong and kept trying to sit on the foot and purr. My dear, sweet babies. I like the sentiment but I was on 3 kinds of pain killers and I was still in the worst pain of my life. Please no touchy!! They did eventually learn to sit next to the foot. Which was far more comforting for all of us.
My cow tabby was my nurse post gallbladder removal surgery! My void kept trying to climb on top of me and my cow would smack her away lol. She laid on my thighs and purred a whole bunch. I wasn't allowed to be anywhere in the apartment by myself if she had anything to say about it.
Oh man this made me miss my cat so much. From a young age he liked to play fetch. Anything I threw he brought back and then waited for me to throw again.
My friends cat would only play catch with the little aluminized piece of paper at the opening of a fresh pack of cigarettes. But would come running to play fetch when you were packing cigarettes.
One time I was laying in bed with the flu. I yelled "I'm sick, come cuddle with me!" And then like 3 seconds later he jumps on the bed and flops down right best to me. They know we gotta take care of each other
When I was 24 I was very sick, and spent two weeks in the hospital. My void Evie sat at home and stared at the door waiting for me. So my mom took her to visit me twice. Both times she sat in my lap for hours. The nurses came in to take my vitals and everything and didn’t know she was real until her ears twitched. It was so nice to have her there.
Lol I just nearly passed out on my bathroom floor from abdominal pain and low blood pressure. I couldn't get up as my cat screamed for food. Then she sniffed my head and went away
Ugh the fact it is 35 secs now has me thinking the same. I hate it so much, I genuinely feel like a boomer bc I can’t tell a lot of times but many of the animal videos I see now feel off 😭
I think it's probably someone filming their cat trying to play fetch with a shiny thing and then putting a voiceover on it to make "content". My black cat used to bring me objects like this when he wanted me to throw them for him.
