“@baa, your dear Boots is a lucky cat to have chosen you! It appears that a good human is good for the health pet, too! (paraphrase the title of this discussion)
During Covid our adult son was house bound by Covid and recovery from critical injury. His cat was, and still Is a great companion. The cat needed food and son was dependent on a wheelchair. He is not in a wheelchair now, but the cat had learned that whenever he heard the refrigerator door open, it meant food. He blocked the wheels until he got a treat 🙀.
