Historically, Lucky doesn’t sit on me a huge amount. But this afternoon while I was trying to fend off yet another anxiety attack, she came and plonked herself on my legs. I think she’s beginning to learn when I’m not quite okay.
cats are incredible. years ago we were cat-sitting Chamallow very often. he liked to cuddle. But I will never forget when one of my best friend died and I had to call many friends to tell them about the sad news. he was lying along me, as if he wanted to absorb my pain. the next days he was also lying on me as he never did before. Animals have this ability to feel our distress and act as they can to help us.
Cats (and many other animals) are far more aware than most people give them credit for - and the more we interact with them, the more that awareness reveals itself. They are the best medicine for whatever it is that ails us. Hope you're ok now, Naomi.
