It doesn't surprise me in the least. Mine always watch over me when I'm sick.  :wow:

Tigger even dragged a towel in from the bathroom once, when I was in bed soaked with the 'flu. (I really miss my Tigger...  :'( )

I swear this story has been everywhere. I received it twice today at work, from family and another work colleague via different news websites.

Funnily enough, two of my colleagues told me about it too  ;)

Thanks Ruth ... I hadn't seen the original thread  :-:

No fuss Sam. I swear this story has been everywhere. I received it twice today at work, from family and another work colleague via different news websites.

My colleague at work said: " wonder what you will think when Lexy cuddles you tonight!"  >:(

yes, apologise for my rather bad taste joke below. Didn't mean to sound callous. It is amazing. I know they can sense unhappiness in people and definitely illness in other animals and that some cats are more 'tuned in' than others. Think the 'feline expert' is more on the ball than the doctor though...a "biochemical explanation"?! They hate realms that they can't easily understand don't they?

oops, that's a bit spooky. Imagine you are lying there and Oscar arrives on your bed  :sick:  :Crazy: Reminds me of that Monty Python 'bring out your dead' sketch where Eric Idle says "I'm feeling better, I think I'll go for a walk" !!

sorry about your flu Mark. Sounds like Willow's a really bad nurse.  :evillaugh: Be thankful Oscar didn't visit though, eh?!

I had a huge cry yesterday, and Little Cat who is usually really skitty, got up off her cushions (I say hers, they're meant to be scatter cushions for people!) and came across and sat with me while I cried. I was really touched that she'd noticed!

It's true though, cats can sense your state of health. If I was having a lie-in then my cats used to go about their business. If i was ill and in bed, they would take it in shifts to make sure I was never alone.
