> We've got four dogs and two cats. The dogs will not leave me alone, especially if I'm crying. They look so scared - I have to stop and comfort them!
Same with mine ... it's like, "Oh no! The pack leader's so upset, what the hell are WE going to do?! We're doomed!!"
My therapist's cats are the opposite ... whenever I'm really upset during a session, one or both invariably jump up on my stomach and insist on insinuating themselves somewhere comfortable, with any variety of gestures to force me to pet them. It's more like, "Oh? Can't take care of yourself right now? Well, take care of me ... you'll enjoy it. (Such a tough job I have ... [sigh!])
Harry, I'm glad yours let you in the door ... some of my friends' cats get pretty spiteful when they go away ... I would have been afraid to walk in the door!
cheers,
bob
