you are not feeling well, or you feel sad or frustrated or whatever is not making this a good day how your pet (cat or dog or both) wants to comfort you. your dog follows you from room to room and when you sit down if they are small they jump into your lap. a big dog will lay his head in your lap. your cat will wait till you sit down and in that moment you have a cat in your lap. you think they are asking to be petted and so you pet them. but, in that process of petting them you start feeling better, calmer and happier.
