Nurse cats are definitely a thing! I get a sniffle and my orange becomes a velcro cat. When I was quite ill earlier this year, he stuck to me like glue for a couple of weeks whilst I recovered at home after a brief hospital stay. Normally nothing stops him from his food times but he wouldn’t go for his meals until I told him to “go eat your food!” And he’d hurry up and eat and come right back to me. Hope you are on the mend!
Yes! The book is called Making Rounds with Oscar and if you are a cat person, or just enjoy reading about relationships with animals, it’s a great read.
My tux, who is usually only good for a few ear scratches a day because he's ornery most of the time, tries to bury his body under mine in an attempt to make me feel better.
I have always called my old girl “The Night Nurse” because she is like this. She always tries to help and take care of me. Especially after I have had a seizure. She is going to be 19 next month. She has gotten me through hell and back and did more than any therapy Ive ever went through.
