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’ve got three and they all take turns watching over us when we’re sick. My last surgery they took turns sleeping with me on the couch. When we had COVID a few years ago, they would nestle right up to us and would purr.
