I think you're right Bones, animals use their senses more than we do, or trust them more is probably more accurate! I think we're taught to ignore them but animals aren't so they do get a good sense of who to sit with. I love it when cats head bump! It's so cute. Mine does a little chirruping sound when she comes in from the garden, as if she's letting us know she's home

She doesn't like having visitors so she hides upstairs if we have people over and when they've gone she comes down and has this really cross miaow that she does while she stomps around making sure they've left, it's so funny.
I hope they sort all the other shots out for you, do you have to have all of these every year now or do they just do it once and that covers you endlessly? xx
