My friend’s cat avoids house guests. She has only to me occasionally walked by ( if she even comes out) and let me briefly pet. I stopped by after my father passed away. I wasn’t openly upset but she came to me and just wouldn’t stop rubbing my legs. Was sitting at my feet. I had black pants, looked like I had legwarmers on when I left. My friend was dumbfounded. He said it like she knows about your dad.
