Catlover very good post. I must admit guys don't underestimate animals. I had a cat who sadly was born with FIV. He cost me thousands upon thousands to fight it off. Although it did return when he was 8 and finished him off.
One night I was unwell and all night this cat kept scratching my nose when I was trying to sleep. When I woke up there was a deep cut just above the bridge of my nose. I went to the doctor to find out why I wasn't feeling well.
He listened for a while and when I told him about the cat he immediately stopped writing grabbed his light and checked my nose. He said there is the problem you have a massive infection that is putting extreme pressure there.
"There" being where the cat was trying to cut a hole to release all the pressure. He said simply animals always know. Very clever fellow mind you he could jump up hook a door handle and open a door.
The cat not the doctor of course...LOL. The more I watch the fellows the more I realize the personalities they have and the fact they think. Sometimes I wonder why we think we are smarter?
