pets sense illness

Hmm ... i never aware and have this experience like you before, that's not happening with my dog, that's why i didn't keep cat sorry, but maybe you are right, what did i know and hear is, they can sense if danger is closer or the weather turns bad

Yes, my two rescue cats do. They are very sensitive to my feelings, and to me in general. My daughter is also affected by S.A.D. it's tough to deal with, but it's recommended to spend time when you first wake up under bright, florescent lights if possible. You can check out light therapy for this disorder if you search online.

It has been a long time since I have had health issues, but I do agree that the cats did what they could for me. Mostly they brought me naps. That was a phenomenon that we noticed when my sister lived with me. She had cancer and one cat or another would periodically find a place to land on her and put her right to sleep. They did the same when I had foot surgery and had to rest a lot. It sure keeps you from getting up impulsively when you are not supposed to if the cats are taking care of you. For your feelings of seasonal affective disorder have you tried extra lighting, like maybe even a full spectrum plant grow light or light for an aquarium? I hope the season passes and you resume you former healthier self.

Hi! Your pet is really sweet. This is really true pets really feel it if your not that well as you feel when they are not well too. I remember when my dad fainted and we brought him to our room because it was the nearest place we could let him rest. The door was open and our dog went inside and visited my father. My dog also does this too. They want to comfort us , they want to give back the comfort we give them when they need something or when they are ill.

It's amazing that pets can sense that there's something not right about you like an illness or you're just not feeling like yourself. They can sense emotions too. That's why lots of people, especially the elderly tend to have pets such as cats or dogs for companions. Even though may not speak at all, their presence is very comforting and relaxing. The good thing is that they can't talk back like people and cause even more stress. I read this picture book written by this old woman which was a true story. She had a cat that bore kittens. She kept one of the kittens and he grew up to be a trouble maker. But one day, the writer of the book grew very sad and ill because someone close to her passed away. Her cat suddenly became affectionate and slept next to her on her bed when she was crying. That was a very sweet story. Pets have feelings too and they can too be like people and also share your sorrows. I haven't had an experience as I don't have pets now, I had heaps when I was a kid but I never had any issues as a kid.

Hi there trinkabelle I think animals are very sensitive and knows different changes in your body like temperature, muscle twitches, and body secretions that we release as our body feels different kinds of stress, on your part it's SAD's, so i know that your cats sense this body changes and understands what is going on if your down or up so, trinkabelle the cat knows your body is in a down mode and just wants to be by your side and comfort you. My dog sleeps with me if i am down all day and is busting energy when i do too, so your not alone.

I believe they do sense sickness and changes in your body. I know my dogs knew when I was pregnant and always snuggled by my stomach when I was pregnant. Like they were protecting the baby.

we u know my dear,it could be almost anything but i think u should check with yr doctor to make sure every thing is up to par.yr health is very important to u and yr family exspecially if yr living on your own. u know it would be nice it invite a good friend over for tea and a little conversation to make u feel better. thats my free advice.well pray for u to get better.now ill get to yr question now. yes definely pets do know when their master is sick,ill or even sad for what ever reason u have. pets havean interwishing thing inside them that when theoir master is happy they are appy by the vibes butif yr sick or not feelig well then they pick up on that also. if they notice things are not the same then they get worried and they become yr good friend. theres a showe on tv that i watched and that this lady was sick and she had 2 cats. they noticed that their masdter wasnt her self so the cats stayed very close to her.one day this lady fell and one of the cats stayed with the master and the other cat got out and went to the neighbors and she got help. the neighbor knew this cat never gets out but this time she did and the neighbor figured it out ands went over to her place. when she went in she saw the other cat near her and was meowing really bad and was scraching at her.no responcew so the neighbor call 911 and she was helped so by all means the cat knows when yr good or bad. make sure yr neighbor knows u have a cat and make sure someone comes and checks on u sometimes if not yr cat would be at their door for yr help. i hope i helped both yr question cause its important for yr health to be good and good for yr animals.
