Well, I guess I should start by saying that I don't have any pets on my own. I like to travel quite a lot, so it wouldn't be the easiest thing in the world to have pets. However, I'm very fond of cats especially, and there's this story I just have to share.
My neighbour used to have two cats. However, she did not always want to have them in the house, so they spent some time in her garden as well. Since her house is right next to ours, they also came to visit us sometimes - when the doors were left open, they even came into the house.
One of those cats became somewhat fond of me (maybe because I would usually pick him up when he came and meowed at me
), and used to come inside just to look for me. Sometimes when I was at school or otherwise out, it just came in, looked at the place I used to sit at and meowed at my mom as if asking where I was. When I wasn't there, it would just leave again. It was crazy, because this was not even MY cat!
But...I digress...this wasn't really what I wanted to talk about, but I guess it's background info for what I'm going to ask later
One day I was being very, very nervous, because we were going to get to know if we had to take oral exams at school or not. This was really scary for me, and I was sort of restless that day. So, I was sitting in the kitchen talking to my mom, and then the cat came in and just jumped right onto my lap. Usually, he would just lie still there, but this day he suddenly wanted to be much closer to me than usual...I'd say that if cats could give hugs, that's what he did...
So, what do you think - can pets really know how people are feeling? Do they know when we're nervous or upset? Because it really seemed like this cat wanted to comfort me, and it's just too hard to understand how he could know that I needed that just then.
What do you think?

, my dog (7yr old boxerXwolfhound) comes and sniffs where that pain is. licks then settles her head on my lap. And wenever im feeling low or spent, she would come over to where i would b and nuzle me and curl up next to. As if to give me comfort. And with my 8month old kitten, the same. I believe they can sense and tune into our fellings better than some1 youve known and loved your whole life. GO THE PETS!
