If you start to cry, can a kitten normally sense that you're upset and tries to comfort you?

Question

Especially if that kitten sees you as a Mommy?

Answer 1

my cat always does that it is that you love her and she loves you and you and the cat is friends

Answer 2

I think so, because there was one morning where I woke up crying because of a dream.. and it seemed like my kitten was wiping my tears away. I felt his paws near my eyes and he started l*****g and nibbling on me. It was so cute!

Answer 3

my kitty does that

Answer 4

They might give you kitty kisses, and l**k the tears from your eyes.  Don't let that fool you, they like the taste of the salt in your tears. (wink!)

I do think cats and dogs are capable of sensing our human emotions and if we are upset while it may not make them "sad" as in the literal human sense; it disturbs them though; enough that it can have an effect on them if things in the home are distressing for the human over a period of time.

Answer 5

They are very sympathetic like that. Dogs usually do something very similar.

Answer 6

I had a cat that would get very worried if I was upset.  Sometimes I would pretend to cry just to see the cat react.  Because she was so cute and really wanted to console me.

Answer 7

YES, Please listen to soft music, kiss your baby, Start all over again in the morning.......Feel safe with your warm kitty! Let the problems of the world wait till tommorrow!

Answer 8

a kitten might be too caught up in play, but when I'm upset my cats always come to me

Answer 9

Of course! My LBC will come and kiss me on my lips,

talk with me, cuddle as close as she can, and bring

me her toys when I'm upset. You are part of her family,

and she doesn't like to see you upset.

Answer 10

yes. cats are very sensitive. be sure to give them praise whenever they try to console you!

Answer 11

I think they can.  When I am upset, my cats seem to flock to me.  They are very intuitive animals.

Answer 12

I believe cats are natural comforters ... Most kittens are into playing more than cuddling but it can be possible that your kitten can sense your emotions.
