Do Your Pets Help You When You Need Help?

@BizSuitStacy my daughter had arthritis and all kinds of random pain when she developed lupus. She was in bed telling me her leg hurt. Told her to take a Tylenol. It didn’t seem to help, she was crying and say it hurt. I didn’t know what else to do but the little abandoned black & white cat she start taking care of jumped up on her bed and started kneading the calf of that leg and massaging it. My daughter said it was taking the pain away and the cat kept on for nearly 10 minutes until it was gone. I don’t know how the cat understood what was happening and knew what to do. But right then I decided she was a keeper. We had to move about 6 months later after someone reported us having a cat. It was either that or get rid of the cat and I couldn’t do it.

@cherokeepatti wow...amazing how the cat helped your daughter. I would have moved too...in fact, I did move when someone reported me for having a dog while living in an apartment.

@BizSuitStacy That cat was a little sweetheart. I put a crocheted afghan on my bed for her to sleep on and she would sleep next to me every night. She started laying her head on the other pillow like I did. She would watch and wait as I watched the evening news and when I put my feet on the floor to get up she would make a funny little meow sound and run to the bedroom and jump on the bed to beat me there every time.
