I find it so incredible that our cats can read us so well.

I've been a little agitated lately, especially this morning. I have something coming up for which I need all sorts of documents - tax forms, wage documentation, etc.......stuff like that....alot of stuff.

So, this morning I was trying to get it all together and organized, so I could bring it into my job and copy all this crap. I was going from one place to another, rifling through files. I didn't think I was getting agitated, but there must have been some aura or "agitation vibe" I was emitting.

Larry would not stop staring. Whenever I moved, he moved. He would not settle down. Until I finished. Then he laid down on the floor and fell asleep.

Cats sense this stuff and pick up on it. I know they do. And I know all of you know it too. It's simply amazing to me.

I couldn't possibly agree more!
My kitties are very in tune to my moods, Imhotep especially. He knows EXACTLY when I need a kitty to cuddle with.

Yeah, Genever's been acting differently the past few weeks, I think because of BF and I being stressed out about moving and packing and all the commotion going on. She knows something's up. Yesterday I decided to plug in Feliway in the bedroom where's she's been hanging out under the bed a lot more than usual, and I don't know if it worked that fast or just a coincidence, but last night and today she's been hanging out with us and in her usual places again.

Whenever the bf and i get into an argument (not often, no worries) Neko will know that i'm upset. She'll meow at us and cuddle with me if i'm sad. She's such a sweet girl! Love her to pieces

When Banshee was alive and DH would get his suitcases out, she knew that he was going to be leaving for awhile. She would get anxious. And if he and I were going someplace together, we'd both be packing. Then she would sit in the suitcase!

She always knew when I was troubled about something. And she didn't like raised voices. When DH would complain about his Eagles during football season....and trust me, there was a lot to complain about!....she would run over to him, chirping the whole time. And DH would have to reassure her that it was really OK; he was just upset about the football game.

The other cats don't really care one way or another; as long as they have food and a comfy nap spot, they're pretty much OK with whatever happens. But she always knew when something wasn't right and she would stay right with us.
