Cats are animals that are usually surrounded by myths, mysteries and many beliefs, some of them from my perception and experience, are true and others are mere speculations, that many times have harmed them, as you know I love cats and that is why I have six of them at home, I also feed two community cats and as far as possible I help as many as I can.

On the other hand, many of you know that this Tuesday my mother died, a 74 year old woman, who had cardiac pathologies and suffered from blood pressure, she was retired, lately I noticed that she got very tired, but when I asked her she did not give any explanation, another constant in her was to be cold, even if the rest of us who lived under the same roof were warm.

Now, of the six cats at home, three of them were specially affected by my mother, the first one Manchita, a calico cat, who arrived home I don't even know how long ago, accompanied by the grandfather of one of my current cats and since her arrival at the door of the house she loved my mother and was always by her side, the other is a tuxedo kitten, 5 years old named Kapüy, who also enjoyed her company and would approach her especially to demand caresses and to be held for a while, lastly Akiles a yellow kitten who enjoyed spending many hours at her side sleeping and would climb on her to be held like a child.

The night before my mother's death, all the cats were placed around her, they looked for a way to be next to her, one on one side, others on the other, some on her legs and others on her bedside and so on, the truth is that I did not give it much importance and I attributed it to the cold that night, but I did notice my mother was more tired.

My cats already felt that something was happening and decided to surround her and accompany her, giving her not only warmth, but also affection and energy, because they are spatial beings that can feel and see things that we cannot, when my son called me alarmed to tell me that something was wrong with my mother, when we got to her they were still there and they only left when we were forced to remove her body from the sofa.

To see how these kittens surrounded and accompanied her in her last hours and how today they still stand behind the door of what was her room, sometimes even meowing waiting to see if she will come out of there, is very touching and for me it is another example of how they are capable of giving and receiving love. Since that day for some of them to get comfort and calm down I had to take one of the blankets with her scent to put it on the sofa and there they have slept peacefully.

In summary, our cats, dogs and other animals can sense that there is something different in us, be it sadness, illness, or even if death is stalking you, maybe it is a sixth sense or their sense of smell that is more powerful than ours, but what is most surprising to me is their fidelity and love, an animal would not leave you lying in the middle of a road because it is tired of you or because it is tired of you or because it is tired of you or because it is tired of you, because they are tired of you or because they don't want to have the responsibility of taking you for a walk or changing your litter or they don't want more expenses, they will be with you forever in good times and bad, so I say goodbye, hoping that this publication encourages you to love your pets more, a hug for everyone and happy #caturday.
