A few weeks ago, Clay had to have knee replacement surgery, and has been at home resting and recovering ever since. She can’t move around a lot, so she’s been spending a lot of time cuddled up in bed — and all five cats immediately noticed that something was off with Mom.
Normally, the cats won’t all cuddle with their mom at the same time … but when they realized she was sick, they knew she needed some extra love and figured out exactly what to do.
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.
I had actually never heard of emdashes until the whole AI thing and I just used hyphens instead. Now I’m embarrassed by my earlier ignorance and use emdashes – and people think I’m an AI. I do put spaces on each side of them which I think is incorrect, at least.

Can confirm. Following open heart surgery, it was a competition to see if Rocket or Keanu could get closer to me.

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.
I think the one by the left hand might be a dog. Cause otherwise yeah.
Ooooh yeah it is a dog. I thought they weren’t including the cat who is on the bed but not cuddling 😂
It’s a rabbit
I count 6 cats?
Is that the AI hyphen?
The creature by the left hand is not a cat, we figured.
I have no idea if their text is AI-generated. Emdashes are used by real humans who write, too.

Why is there no mention of the mysterious 6th creature who is closest to the human in the article?
Looks like a Yorkie to me.
My theory is that it’s a dog that’s always by her side, so it wasn’t as newsworthy as 5 cats who are usually off by themselves.
That’s messed up. So screw the loyal dog-rabbit, but praise the cats for one event?
It’s a cat-spiracy.
