I want every one of these cats. But that would not be right. Those owners obviously cherish and need them.

It's not just these cats. Most cats are like this. Mine is. Although he comes running when I'm singing thinking I'm wailing 😩 I'm sure.

Cats are very sensitive creatures who feel our feelings. They don't always get credit for that emotion because they can be aloof. But when it comes down to it, cats know. Like dogs they are companion animals.

He was an indoor/outdoor cat. However, whenever I was sick he would stay in bed with me and not leave until I was better. Cats and dogs are great companions.
