Cat Therapy

What does your cat do to help you thru the rough spots?

[CRSeaside]

I have rough nights. Last night I was having a wicked nightmare & kicking in my sleep. I started crying & when I woke up Mommy Baby had one paw on me, pretty much all her weight. I think that's what woke me up. I wonder if she learned that from my husband ( when he's home, he wakes me when I start trashing around.
  Or maybe it was feline intuitive behavior. This is the first time she's done anything like that, plus she isn't the lap cat type.
   I don't know why, but I'm grateful to have such a loving, caring kitty near by in case of trouble.   Pamela.

LOL, lucky! :-)  I had to actually put a stop there and say 'no more cats!', otherwise I would be the crazy cat lady with 50 cats.  Six is perfect: I was able to have all fixed (no kittens, yay!), and vaccinated, and I can feed them.  They go in and out of the house by meowing at the door.  So, there is always at least one in the house to keep me company--usually 'Cheese', who loves nothing more than to lay all stretched out and twisted up on our couch in the afternoons.  Their other names are 'Ford",m, Maine coon; "Dodge",m, Maine coon; "Mischa-Lynn",f, b&w domestic short hair; "Burnout", m, b&w domestic short hair who resembles a cow; and "Pony",f, calico who will let you pet her then turn around and attack you.  That's my crew - besides "Highway", canine dane and lab mix, m.  He is getting old, and we call him our household lunkhead because he just wants to lay around and get petted. :-)  Blessings - Blu

When I need a nap & MommyBaby is near by,I'll get a bandana scarf. Smooth it out at foot of bed. Them she jumps up, resmooths scarf & gets comfortable. That warms my heart. Then I know she's planning to stay with me awhile & take care of me. Kitty Therapy. It helps! Pamela

Hi Blu. Mine too. Sometimes I have rough mornings. It does seem as if she can tell the difference, because on those mornings, she positions her cat body like spooning my calf. I stay very still & meditate. Her name is Mommy Baby.
6 kitty's. you lucky dog!  Pamela

I adore my cats.  I have six. :-)  They are sensitive to when I am not feeling good, and will come lay on me and purr.  That is SO soothing. :-)
