I absolutely loved this story about Rademenes, a cat that cares for and comforts other animals in need. It’s a wonderful reminder of the sentient and intuitive nature of animals. Thank you to FACE Foundation for sharing such an uplifting and beautiful story.
Have a great day! 🙂

My name is Tonya, and I grew up on a 300-acre farm in rural Virginia that has been in my family for over 100 years. After graduating from college, receiving my master’s degree in speech and language pathology, and living and working in a small city for six years, I decided to return to the place of my childhood. Here, in this rural area, on this patch of green, where for four generations my family has farmed, gardened, and lived, I, too wanted to be a part of this continuity. As a fourth generation farmgirl, I have many interests that not only include, but also go beyond the basics of farming, gardening, sheep and chicken-keeping. It is all of this and more that I plan on sharing in this blog.

wow- what an incredible story…. animals truly are the best. This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: “What a wonderful world it would be if humans had hearts like dogs” or cat’s in this case!!

It’s my pleasure. You may enjoy reading a book called, The Inner World of Farm Animals. It’s written by Amy Hatkoff. It’s about the amazing social, emotional, and intellectual capacities of farm animals. It’s fantastic….full of stories just like this one. 🙂

I’m convinced that animals are empaths! They seem to always know when we’re not well. Apparently, it extends to other species as well!

You’re right, Rob. I also believe animals have a sense about how others are feeling–mentally and physically. I’ve seen it with all of our animals–their interactions with one another and us.

As a cat owner (Prior dog and cat owner) I can tell you my animals adored each other. My lone Kitty-Tyler (Age 4) is for sure “my Cat” he has amazing instincts and is as loveable as they come. When I adopted him we had not had a pet in the home for a few years. The minute I saw this kitty at 8 weeks old I knew he would be mine-adoption was immediate. He knows when one of my children aren’t well and snoops around to check, then comes and finds me “As if to say” hey Mom someone needs you. Sometimes Tonya it is comical. Love this story absolutely precious. Cheryl

I loved hearing about your sweet kitty, Tyler and the TLC he gives to your family. My cat, Clementine, is very similar to your cat. Clemmie has a knack for knowing if I’m upset, etc. She’ll sit on my lap, facing me, and place her paws toward my face or over my heart. She’s such a sweetie!
I’m really glad you enjoyed the post, Cheryl. Thanks so much for sharing Tyler’s story. 🙂 🐈
