Cats and dogs. Human partners and friends, too, if they speak up about sudden changes in breath or body odors, such as sweet, fruity, moldy, decomposition, etc. I would imagine it takes a rather close and trusting relationship, eg I trust you aren’t saying things to be hurtful/I trust you to receive my comments in good faith.
I definitely noticed when my first cat got kidney failure, though I didn’t know what it was at the time. Also when my girlfriend was going through some mental issues it was one of the ways I could tell. We’ve got all our senses for a reason, we should use them!
I absolutely agree. Our society and even cultural habits can pull us away from ourselves, giving us a sense of distraction, separation, going in too many directions. When we get quiet and still, coming fully back into ourselves, we start to notice things again.
I’m glad you commented today. This was a fun chat and I had been thinking about you this week since I hadn’t seen your name in the comments for a while.
Thank you. I’ve missed our chats. I’m spending time on a few other projects, one of which may be surgery to correct some mechanical issues. I hope you are happy and well.
I am doing pretty well overall. There’s a few things stressing me out, but they’re under control, just annoying, and I’ve been 90% done being sick for like 2 weeks now but can’t shake that last 10%. My overall feelings though have been better than at the very start of the year.
Good luck with what you have going on, I hope things go the way you want, and I’ll be here whenever you’re ready for more owls and tangential conversation!
Always feel free to go off topic, at least on anything I post. I’m good talking about the actual owls of course, but I enjoy getting to know about all of you and whatever interesting things you’re thinking about. No need for us to be all stuffy up in here.
