A few weeks ago, Clay had to have knee replacement surgery, and has been at home resting and recovering ever since. She can’t move around a lot, so she’s been spending a lot of time cuddled up in bed — and all five cats immediately noticed that something was off with Mom.
Normally, the cats won’t all cuddle with their mom at the same time … but when they realized she was sick, they knew she needed some extra love and figured out exactly what to do.
Awwww. My wife says the same thing – our cats always know when she’s feeling off, and want to sit on her tummy :). She swears it helps her feel better too.
I had actually never heard of emdashes until the whole AI thing and I just used hyphens instead. Now I’m embarrassed by my earlier ignorance and use emdashes – and people think I’m an AI. I do put spaces on each side of them which I think is incorrect, at least.

Can confirm. Following open heart surgery, it was a competition to see if Rocket or Keanu could get closer to me.

You’ve probably heard it already but i love this fact: cat purrs can help heal muscle tears and reduce pain.
They really wanted to sit on my chest and had zero concept of surgery incisions. 😞
It’s going to be tough here in a couple of weeks when I go in for cancer surgery.
Yeeks. Well, I hope it all works out for you. Can’t imagine having to deal with that. Sending good vibes!
Is one of those a dog? Left hand?
I think the one by the left hand might be a dog. Cause otherwise yeah.
Ooooh yeah it is a dog. I thought they weren’t including the cat who is on the bed but not cuddling 😂
It’s a rabbit
The creature by the left hand is not a cat, we figured.
I have no idea if their text is AI-generated. Emdashes are used by real humans who write, too.

Why is there no mention of the mysterious 6th creature who is being held by the human in the article?
“All cats and the AI generated rabbit—dog hybrid cuddled up with mom after she has surgery”?
Looks like a Yorkie to me.
My theory is that it’s a dog that’s always by her side, so it wasn’t as newsworthy as 5 cats who are usually off by themselves.
That’s messed up. So screw the loyal dog-rabbit, but praise the cats for a one off event?
It’s a cat-spiracy.
