I think our pets are even reacting to W's MLC weirdness and depression. We have 3 cats and 1 little dog. Kitties have always been my babies. Always been a cat person.
Doggie has always been her baby. Used to always ask her to take him out. Actually laid in bed with her most of the summer during her 2 months of nothingness. Always slept on her side of the bed. W posted pics of him on FB under the covers with her, etc. Doggie now stays downstairs with me until I go to bed. Lays beside me on the couch or in my chair. Always comes to me to take him out. Woke up with him sleeping under the covers between my legs this morning.
Kitties have taken turns over the years controlling the space of the MBR. Each of them has had their turns when that was their area. The MBR has always been occupied by one of the kitties, until now. They rarely go in there at all. They stay downstairs in the LR and kitchen with me or hang out on the steps which they love. Our 2 tomcats have always kept their distance from each other, but in the last 2 weeks, they have taken to laying together with me whenever I sit down. It's kind of comical sometimes. The other night I had the dog beside me on the couch and both big tomcats laying on my lap.
I know pets are strange sometimes, but they also sense when things are wrong. When W's little doggie has decided not to hang out with her in her state of depression and upheaval, that is a telling sign to me.
