2. About 40 years ago I had surgery to remove a benign tumor from an ovary.

My husband and I were newly married and he brought a cat, named Cat, with him when we married. When I came home from the

hospital Cat spent every moment with me until I was better. I slept down on the couch to avoid the stairs, and she slept on

the floor beside me. When I got up for anything she followed me, always careful to stay out from under my feet

and talking to me. My husband and I said she was the best nurse ever!

Animals are empathetic. Too bad more humans don't follow Luna's kind example!
