It's amazing how our cats know when all is not right. About a month ago my Mom had another stroke, needless to say Soncat and I were pretty upset, worried, and scared. Groucho turned into the ultimate velcro kitty that week. He was constantly all over both of us purring and being very generous with snuggles and kitty kisses. One night he looked up at me and I said, "You know, don't you?" The sweet expression on his face answered the question very clearly.
