Some "experts" believe cats are more sensitive than humans. I KNOW most cats are more sensitive than most, if not all, humans, having been born into a family "with cat" and living with cats all my life. I could write volumes on the love, comfort, empathy and sympathy I have received from many cats when I have been in grief, sickness or sadness. We KNOW they understand. Cindy has closed Artie's thread and has not yet posted on the "Crossing the Bridge" forum, which I think she may in time. I can't stop thinking of how it must have felt, coming into that empty apartment after the journey, seeing his things there and knowing he would never use them again. Having a multi-cat family, I feel each loss like a kick to the heart, but I always know I have more beloved ones here who need me to get up off it and care for them, and even when I feel like joining my beloveds who have crossed already, I pick myself up because I'm needed HERE. She doesn't have that now. I pray she will be able to endure this period and hopefully in time, think about sharing the love with another deserving cat.
Yes, that does give me comfort and I pray it will her as well. Also it was surprising and heartening that her cousin and wife came through for her in her time of need. I'm sure we're all grateful to them. That's what people are supposed to do, but a lot of people do not have relatives or friends to help.

He calmed me down by making me focus on him and his purring (sounds like a chainsaw) while he headbutted my chin then nibbled on one of my fingers, softly without trying to hurt me.I hope it lowered with the C.A.T. (Cat-Assisted Therapy)
The purring is so therapeutic! and the warmth, softness and sweetness of cats increases our wellbeing, strenthens our hearts, makes us happier and healthier people!
