    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.

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

        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.

          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.

          You’ve probably heard it already but i love this fact: cat purrs can help heal muscle tears and reduce pain.

    They definitely can tell when we don’t feel well, and they take such good care of us.

    Okay, so assuming this isn’t generated, what causes stuff like this?

      My stock camera app has built in automatic post processing and it’s never been good at fur

      Take it easy bro. Exhibit A: hair with stripes. Exhibit B: hair.

      Non-subjective evidence is the source article from 2019. AI images in 2019 looked like this

        My question was what else causes artifacts like that, precisely so I don’t misidentify AI.

        If you don’t see anything odd about the snippets: Look at how her collar narrows into a strange spike; look at how the cat’s neck basically does the same.

          Phones do post processing in order to make up for physical constraints of their cameras. I find Samsung’s blurs fur a bit and gives it that distinct look.

          Look into how YT started uploading shorts in low definition and upscaled them with AI, giving legitimate videos that look.

          The human collar is collar shaped. The cats are also wearing collars, it makes the fur stick up.

    Not a single one either trying to crawl into her mouth or laying on her chest with butt right in the her face?

    Maybe it’s just my cats…

    I hope she recovers well. I think she will with all those cute carers.
