We have three cats (now) and a dog. Dozer (the dog) has been driving me crazy for the past two days. I thought the problem was behavioral, but it turned out to be veterinary -- he was basically showing the types of symptoms that I get when my IBS flares up (okay, TMI, sorry!).
I've been very emotional dealing with the constant whining and crying and barking of the dog. I'm just not able to handle it when he gets like this and won't stop. *Finally* he's stopped, now that he's managed to have a huge bowel movement (yes, more TMI!).
Reagan is doing what she can right now to make me feel better, and even though Whisper *hates* me for bringing Molly in (he'll get over it), he's fussing all over me, too, rubbing against me and purring for the first time in days.
I believe that cats, at least as much as dogs, sense our moods and try to make things right when they aren't. It's such a lovely, lovely thing in the behavior of cats!
