Cats are very in tune with our feelings. I noticed that my baby comes up to me for lovins a lot more now that I'm sober. When I would come home drunk or on something she could sense it and would keep her distance and just watch me. It was unfortunate because that's when I would want to cuddle with her the most. Funny story I actually woke up one morning with scratch marks all over my arms and for the life of me had no idea what caused them (she never scratches or hisses or anything like that). Then I noticed my shirt was covered in her hair and I guessed that I got a little too lovey or tried to hug her too tightly and she clawed her way out. :x
