Cats Are Very Intuitive
Cats can read us by the look on our faces or how we act. Cats seem to know if you have had a hard day and may lick your hand or face. Cats will also curl up and purr away on your lap. When I came home from the hospital, my cat would check on me every hour. My cat wanted to make sure I was OK. Cats seem to know if you are crying, you would like them to sit on your lap and keep you company. One of my house cats started growling for no reason, and shortly, a tornado passed through our town, which was only 4 miles away. Cats know that when you are smiling, you are happy, and a cat treat will come shortly.
Death In The Family
Cats get very depressed for a long time when a household member dies. After my Mother died, my Siamese cat would sit next to the bathtub and wail in a sharp Siamese cat voice. She was also very depressed when her pet parakeet died. She had come from a home that raised parakeets before I adopted her. Every morning she would listen to Perry the parakeet sing away; he was her animal friend. Sugar was very attached to people and animals that she loved. Sugar would sit in my lap more after my Mother died. We were good therapy for each other.
Cats Can Warn You
A cat at a nursing home would jump in bed with a resident who would generally die within two days after the cat visit. Cats can warn you about a gas leak in your home. They can smell it and then come back into the house with their nose curled up. The cat made the homeowner follow him outdoors to the gas leak, and she called the gas company and got the leak fixed, saving both of their lives. Cats can warn owners of an impending seizure that protects them from significant injury. Cats must lead their owners to the kitchen to show them they forgot to shut off the stove. Cats have to awaken their owners to warn them of a fire in the home that saves them from burning or suffocating to death.
Cats Looking Out For Us
My cats know I wouldn’t say I like mice, and one drowns them in a water dish. One time my dryer vent came off, three mice came in, and my cat drowned all of them. Cats will share their toys with you, and you and your cat can play with them together for a little while. My cats curl up in my lap, and we generally take a catnap together. One night my cat Sebastian saw a man walking down my road, and he growled, which got my immediate attention. I pulled down the shade and thanked Sebastian. Cats comfort us every day.
