He is a smart and sensitive little guy. He knows meowmie is hurt and not feeling quite right so he is sticking close by to make sure you are ok and to give you comfort. Lilith is very similar in behavior. She loves to get her cuddles and scritchies but then goes off to her nap spot for awhile. But when I am ill she is like glue to me. She will not move away unless I do or unless you has to use the litter. But then she is right back beside me. He is just being his loving, supportive, sensitive, sweet, protective self. He wants to be there for you when you need him like you are there for him when he needs you.
