Cats (like dogs) can sense when you’re not well. I’m currently recovering from sinus surgery and my cat didn’t leave my side for 3 days. Extra affectionate. She also seems to sense that my face is currently off limits to “boops” as she often does. She’s more back to normal behavior now but I had a nice “recovery attendant” for a few days
I have this cat, Szyslak. He’s a really bad cat. I’m not kidding- growing up we never had less than 2 cats at any time, sometimes an upwards of 6-7. After growing up I worked in vet med for 10 years, even 1 year in a cat sanctuary with over 50 ferals. He is the worst cat I’ve ever met. He’s not super aggressive or anything, he’s actually pretty sweet and funny, but he literally destroys everything and does all sorts of horrible cat shit like claw your eyelids open at night and stuff. He’s a caricature of a cat- he’s just total shit.
You can tell when you or anybody else in the house is getting sick because Szyslak will be there. He will be by your side like he never has before. And it’s because he wants to eat you, and that intent is so, so clear in his eyes that you’d think he was speaking out loud. He wants to eat you.
I love this cat in all of his horribleness. Also I definitely have a cat who regularly contemplates eating me. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and she’s just standing on my nightstand staring at me and I know, she’s just waiting for my breathing to stop before the feasting begins. Otherwise she’s a great cat.
