Animals can tell

They say animals/pets can tell when you are sick.

When i had mono my cat was constantly at my side, laying with me in bed the entire day, something he never does. He even laid on the pillow next to me, and he has never once done that.

Now that I am better he is back to being an a***hole.

Maybe he can sense I am ok?

I believe in the mind powers of animals and am hoping my cat is right, that I am ok. You would think if he sensed HIV he would still be sleeping in my bed with me and being by my side?

sigh, I miss my dogs.  I've had them since the early 90s and now they've died of old age...

I have met a few very kind cuddly cats that have a warm look in their eyes. Some cats are really nice and never scratch you.

yeah precisely so you know what I mean... it's like they can SENSE things.

And forgive me if I'm wrong but I think all cats have cold looks in their eyes...

That is weird because when I come home at differet times my cat is still waiting.

When I was a child all three of the family cats and the dog would wait at the end of our 1/4 mile long driveway for me after school. My mom said they would start walking down there a few minutes before I was expected home.

My cat is acting normal now, like nothing is wrong. He has a cold look in his eyes, however. I think he might know something about my health but he doesnt care.

Dogs and cats are actually aliens who are here to stay with us until all mankind perishes due to illnesses such as HIV and cancer. then they take over the planet. thats why they can sense our sicknesses, HIV or whatever. infact there is a study which says by 2025 all the doctors will be replaced with dogs and cats for diagnosis. We will only need dogs, cats and pharmacists in teh future. no wonder.. so many pet stores are cropping up everywhere in teh world.

I haven't even worked this summer. I've been living off of saved money and my mother. I'm so pathetic right now.

I always wanted either a Bulldog or a Dogue De Bordeaux(french mastiff and the dog in Turner and Hooch)

My cat always waits by the front door, he can sense when I am about to come home. Scientists think animals can tell when you come home by how the angle of the sun in the sky. Animals are so smart, they have senses that we dont have.

My dogs like me.  They actually "detect" when my car is coming up the driveway and they run out five minutes before to "welcome" me home.  My wife agrees with blue in that she thinks they stink.  But I prefer dogs to cats..

my cat is very very cute looking but he is the devil inside. Dont let his fuzzy cuteness fool you.

He has such a coldness in his eyes. Sometimes he scares me. Sometimes I wonder if he could hurt me when I am sleeping, bite my jugular vein or something.

I like cats better than dogs. Dogs stink and are too clingy and needy. I dont have the patience to walk them and wait for them to go the bathroom, cats dont need constant attention and care.

I just watched some season 3 episodes of House, MD.  Jeez, it seems every episode they mention "did you test for HIV?"

Cats in general are not very affectionate, unlike dogs.

I am reading a book right now to try to get my mind of off everything, its a book about Bollywood and the Indian movie stars, and the main character just found out he has HIV and dies in the book. I threw the book across the room.

I know, I keep addressing the replies to me.

Its due to anxiety and depression.

I am not thinking clearly. My motor skills are compromised.

I just turned the channel on the TV to a Law and Order episode. Guess what the title of the episode is. "Positive"

I'm doomed.
