    Good man. We all make mistakes, some more serious than others. But this man did his time and paid his dues. He deserves a fresh start.

    They definitely have feelings and can read ours too! Reminds me of this one time I was having a heated argument with my parents, involving screaming back and forth. There was a coffee table in between us. My cat who was sleeping in a different room walked in, got on the coffee table and started crying/screaming loudly while looking at me. She’s never been that loud and she definitely has never done something like that before. Her screams were so effective that we actually stopped arguing and ended up totally distracted discussing her unusual behaviour. I’m not sure if she was “saving” me thinking I was in trouble or saving my parents but it sure did work!

    My cat wakes me up most mornings by standing the bedroom doorway yowling. Occassionally he wakes me during the night by gently pawing my face or neck while quietly meowing. One time recently, I awoke being aware I'd been agitated and talking in my sleep. Upon reflection, I realized I've been deeply asleep everytime he has done that. I'm now pretty sure he's waking me when I'm having a bad dream.

    When I'm tossing and turning in my sleep, my cat lays on me to calm me down. They are angels!

    My mother passed away last November. This week I had a horrible nightmare about her. I woke up in a panic, crying my eyes out, even hyperventilating. My cat jumped into my lap, rested his head on my chin, one paw on each side of his neck... A REAL cat hug.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. My dad passed away in 2023. My kitty both mourned his loss because they loved each other and also comforted me and my mom and looked after us. She started sleeping on top of me in the months after his passing, and now she does it most nights.

    Cats are so sensible little creatures. On christmas I had several seizures and my partner told me that both cats tried to comfort me during the incidents and when I gained conciousness again. One (the least aggressive cat I know) tried to fight the emergency doc/nurses because I didn't want to go to the hospital (I hate hospitals). Partner said they had to physically restrain the cat and patch up some scratches the main nurse got. 😅 I'm sorry nurse Marie. I hope you got the chocolates.

    Cats are the coolest. This coming from a dog owning family. Saw this one video where a guy would plop down on his bed and the cat would do the same exact move. Always puts a smile on my face.

    I get migraines and even with medication I cannot get rid of it until I sleep. For me medication just means I sleep less and it actually goes away. My sweet girl will stay with me almost the entire time. She will meet my hubby at the door when he comes home and demands he fallow her to check on me. But after that she gets pissed if he comes back to check on me and wake me up. If he just opens the door and looks in without waking me, she gets up and sit on the corner of the bed between the door and me. If he wakes me up, she will jump down and she makes this demanding sound that the tone somehow doesn't hurt me, but is very determined that he fallow her out of the room.

    My girl does this too. when I'm having a bad migraine, she refuses to leave my lap, even for her usual favorite porch time.

    All of my cats have been loving sweeties who would run to meet me when I came home and snuggle up a storm. One time I was renting a split-level place, and my cat Dickens would run upstairs to look out the window when he heard my car pull in, then run downstairs to greet me at the door. Then we would go up to my room, where he jumped on the bed, and I would lean toward him, and we would head bonk. He was also good at carrying on a “conversation.” Such a character.

    That's beautiful. Cats are the best companions. Mine is currently sleeping on the desk, draped across my left hand while I type this with my right.

    Whenever my gf and I have a loud discussion both my cockatiels will start chirping loudly until we stop. We’ve figured out that if we get too loud so will they. So now we have calmer discussions :)

    It's nice to hear some sweet stories of cats and not just the usual "he's a monster and I'm covered in festering scratches but he loves me "

    There was a lady with an eating disorder. Her cat started refusing to eat on days that the lady didn't eat. So eventually, the lady started eating regularly again, just to keep her cat eating. Thats a support pet if I ever heard of one.

    I have M.E. One of my cats, when I'm unable to get out of bed, will stay with me. He paws me occasionally to check in, pulls the duvet off to make sure I wake. Makes sure I take some fluids and then he settles back down. He is the absolute chillest cat. I have 3 others. Who he usually adores. But when my illness flares, if they come near me too fast or get too boisterous, he tells them off. Full on yowls and swipes. When I'm not crashing. He is usually on the cat tree. And best buds with the others and super chill. He 110% knows and nothing will convince me otherwise.

    Also, this is BS. Ive known plenty of good people whose cats didnt care about them, and were basically furniture that you had to feed. Ive NEVER known a dog that didnt show affection for its owner.

    I honestly believe most children need a pet. It teaches them so much, and not just about things like responsibility, but about unconditional love.

    Crows recognise those who are kind and will bring them little gifts. If you're nasty to a crow you'll have a whole gang of crows out to get you.

    When i had a Dane we got a wee hound pupper. Loki would carry it around in his mouth. I never thought i'd have to learn the command, "Loki, spit the puppy out!"

    Yes and....why is 29 cents a barrier? I'm not going to dismiss the your person's actions, it's incredible. But the library system should be ashamed.
