My brilliant, beautiful, bride, Jennifer took this picture.
Is Lily sitting on my lap (for the first time ever!!) because she can sense I am feeling sick and wants to comfort me, or does she just want to sit on the blanket that my grandmother made?
Probably the blanket.

Most cats will definitely try to comfort you when they sense you’re not feeling well. I suspect it’s a combination of that, and the fact all cats love comfy blankets!
