My cat Buttercup seems to know when I am at home alone for the day and night. She comes inside and lays down and sleeps with me sometimes. She snuggles on me and is very affectionate. It is so strange how she knows when I need comforting too. When I broke up with my boyfriend (we reconciled) I was crying my eyes out and she nuzzed me and hugged me and comforted me. She has given me so much love. Cats are not like dogs. They only share their affection when they want to. It makes it that much more specia.
