In reply to Kim Chenhall. Kim, your comment made me smile! For years, I have only partially joked that I need to outlive my two beloved feline companions (19 and 17). Now I will consider that we all must die at the same time, peacefully, in our sleep.

My newly adopted 10 month old cat, Theo, who i have had for only 3 months, came into my home after my father and my senior kitty both became suddenly ill and died within a month of one another. Now, he is affectionate and interactive, yet only typically lies at the foot of my bed or near me, not on top of me or my lap – he’s a tough, independent little stray Tomcat, after all! Yet Theo immediately understood my grief and would come running into my arms and lie down on top my chest/lap whenever I started crying. After that, i had a shoulder injury, and struggled to sleep. this time he would come and sleep next to the sore shoulder, even once slept across it and my pillow, until it healed, and purred me to sleep. Just today, I had a stomach ache and was also very sad. He came to lie over my belly, for an hour, purring and occasionally licking my stomach. Hopefully this story and others told here will convince any skeptics that cats are indeed medical intuitives, natural healers, and empaths. They are a beautiful mystery and a gift from God to mankind. Thank you for the article and the chance to tell my story.

In reply to Sherry.

We have all had very special moments with our beautiful feline companions.
Our two beautiful deeply loved rescue cats have been with us for 4 years and are very much adored.
We are in our early 80’s and have told our cats that we all need to “depart” together! They are14 years old and we adopted at nine months.!

They are much adored and we cannot imagine life without them.

One of our cats can tell when another cat in the household is sick. Unfortunately we twice didn’t realize what was going on in time to do anything. Recently we took our youngest to the vet after we saw the same concern from him. She needed a dental cleaning and they removed a tooth the had resorption. She’s doing good but the vet said it was likely painful.

I have a history of osteoarthritis in my knees & lower back. I had 2 cats that a friend called “healer cats”. When my rt knee hurt, they’d lay on both sides of that knee. Same with my lt knee. When both knees hurt, 1 cat would lay against the outside edge of each knee. Same with my back. I don’t know if this was actually therapeutic for the joints involved, but they were immensely comforting. Being in a positive mental state has a profound effect on a person’s pain tolerance. Just knowing that when I was in pain, they would rather comfort me than lounge in a sunny spot. When they were ill, I 100% returned the favor. When they eventually passed, I needed a lot of time to grieve.
That was years ago but even now, when I’m almost asleep, I think that I hear the female jumping from 1 piece of furniture to another. Then I smile myself to sleep.
I will always choose to share my life with a cat.
