Your bitties are real sweethearts! There's nothing like surround-sound
purring. I experienced that once, years ago, when 3 kittens slept on
my chest and purred loudly in unison. I happened to be very sad about
something that night and it was indeed very healing to have them there.

It's hard to be angry-depressed, because nobody (humans, cats, or anyone
else happening by) wants to risk getting too close. Yet you still need
support in that condition. And not getting it can sometimes just make a
person even more angry and depressed (I know, I've been there).
I used to live with someone who, when depressed, was more sad, whereas
when I was depressed, I tended more toward angry, or anxious. I could never
understand why she got so much more support than I did! My way of feeling
bad tended to push people away, although that wasn't my concious intention.

I'm convinced my cats wouldn't notice if I was dying! They never respond
when I don't feel good, whether emotionally or physically. Not even if I'm
crying. (Although Smudge will get very concerned about me when I'm singing -
maybe I sound like I'm in pain?) All of you who have good kitty nurses are
really lucky!
