These amazing and sensitive pets really understand if their owner is sick.

It's all about a person's smell, which can change due to illness.

Therefore, sometimes an animal can learn about a human health problem even before the human does.

It is also worth noting that many people believe that cats can sense where and what hurts their owner.

In such situations, a pet may even lie down on the sore spot to help its owner overcome the problem and ease his condition.

But in reality, you shouldn’t expect your pet to have any magical powers.

The thing is that a cat or a cat loves warmth. Usually, a sore spot on a person's body becomes warmer due to the inflammatory process.

Sometimes cats really do help.

With their warmth and soothing purring, they can relieve back and joint pain.
