I've come down with some bug or virus or something, and have been in bed feeling crappy all day.

My 3 year old cat is normally very energetic and playful, but she sensed something was wrong with me today. She headbutted me about 20 times. When I wasn't responding due to total lethargy, she then pat my head with her paw. I still didn't respond. Then she licked my forehead. I just laid there. Then she curled up and napped by me, with her face <1 inch from my face for about 2 hours.

Yes, we anthropomorphize cats, but they clearly feel love (expressed and trust), and love us in return, in their own ways.

I’m sorry. Hugs. Cats are precious beings.

Really? Within a day of returning from a trip where we had a pet sitter my cat will poop on the floor. Usually she does this in a space that is used only by my husband or me. Does that mean she hates us? No, I think she's a sociopath who gets passed at us for leaving.

This is my cat too. We’re on vacation now and I miss her so much!
