Someday, I'll make Sparrow and Klio their own blog, but until then you all have to deal with it. :-P
Sparrow has asthma (technically called feline chronic bronchitis or something; my vet calls her a "snuffler kitty"). Usually, she's okay, especially now that she's on medication to control it, but for a month or two during the wildfires the smoke was setting her off daily, and she still has the occasional attack.
When she has an attack, she freaks out a little, so I drop whatever I'm doing, sit down next to her, pet her and talk to her to calm her down, and then I hold her for a few minutes once she's stopped coughing.
Well, a week or two ago, I was eating tortilla chips and swallowed wrong, and started coughing and wheezing (this is actually a very common occurrence since I am a huge klutz). She came running to the couch from the office and put one paw on my leg until I stopped choking.
One-time thing, right? I figured she probably just thought I was entertaining her or wanted a chip or something.
Only every time I cough or anything, she now comes running and puts a paw on my leg or shoulder and mews at me until I stop, then runs back to whatever she was doing. I'm pretty sure she is trying to comfort me like I comfort her when she coughs. It's really cute, right?
