Okay but…how can people say that cats have no feelings?

One time last year I accidentally nearly overdosed on my epilepsy medication. They were changing my medications – which ended up not working out, believe or not – and were slowly taking me off of my current medication. 

Turns out the gave me 100 mg pills instead of 25 mg, but still told me to take six which – again, believe it or not, was not a great thing to do. 

Because of this, I had a small stroke, and a seizure that lasted 45 minutes. During this time, one of my cats curled up on my chest to give me support, while making sure I didn’t move, which could have been disastrous (things that have happened when I’ve had seizures and tried to move/walk – a broken back that was incredibly close to paralyzing me, broken ribs that caused lung damage that resulted in a life threatening case of pneumonia, a broken arm, and various other bumps and bruises).

Apparently the paramedics kept trying to remove him, but he refused and just kept coming back. They’d never seen anything like it, and actually remember the situation if I need to phone an ambulance. (Small town, very few paramedics, tend to remember me).

But of course, cats can never love their owners the way dogs do. Even though my cats give me extra cuddles when I’ve had seizures, help me if I have anxiety, and saved me from severe harm that day. 

I will never, ever not love my cats, or let people get away with saying they don’t love me just because they’re cats. I swear, I will sit down anyone who tries to tell me otherwise and tell them how fantastic and loving my cats are.
