I suffer from constant headaches, the 24/7 kind with some days being better than others.
I find this weird, but whenever I have a really bad episode, Chemul (my once feral kitten) will crawl up on any part of me she can, usually on my chest, and just lay there with me. She is usually not a cuddly cat, and likes to attack you if she gets more than 2 pats at a time, but she will lay there with me, and let me pat her as long as I want.
Mufasa doesn't seem to realize I'm in pain, he continues on with his catty business, but it really seems to effect Chemul. She gets very concerned and will not leave my side.
I've never had an animal react like this to my pain before, is this normal behavior?? I've heard that cats will sometimes lay on someone who is sick or injured and purr, as it is know to help the healing process, but she does not purr...just lays there quietly.
