Awwww. My wife says the same thing -- our cats always know when she's feeling off, and want to sit on her tummy :). She swears it helps her feel better too.

They really wanted to sit on my chest and had zero concept of surgery incisions. 😞

It's going to be tough here in a couple of weeks when I go in for cancer surgery.

Yeeks. Well, I hope it all works out for you. Can't imagine having to deal with that. Sending good vibes!

You've probably heard it already but i love this fact: cat purrs can help heal muscle tears and reduce pain.
