Do pets "know" ??
This may seem a really strange question - but I'll explain why I'm asking.
Do pets know when you're pregnant - possibly even before you do??
I am on CD 13 and ov'd early (not unusual for me I can ov anywhere between CD11 & CD15) at CD11.
I already have 3 children - but didn't have pets when pregnant with them.
I have an 18 month old Ginger Tom. Adorable as he is, he's not really one for fussing over me - in fact the ONLY time I am deemed worthy of his attention is when I am feeding him and then I'll get a cursory rub of my leg whilst doing so...
Here's the explanation part..
Since getting up at 5.45am today he hasn't left me alone Constantly wanting attention and wriggling round my legs, he's even tried climbing up my leg to get a cuddle . I have just been sat at the pc and he's come and jumped up on my knee and pushed his head under my chin to gain affection and cuddles - purring his little head off!! I went to the loo earlier and just pushed the door to, the cheeky little man headbutted the door open to get to me
He is never like this with me - he's more DH's & DD's cat than he is mine (even though I got him for me :roll: ) .
So now I'm wondering what could be causing this odd behaviour....oh...as well as desperately hoping that it is in fact linked to him picking up something that I don't yet know

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and we have two kitties who are being exactly the same around me, so who knows!! x
Oh well...we shall soon see
Now where's that psychic cat gone to?
I think its true, my cat has been more affectionate over the last couple of weeks.
If you were to swim with dolphins ( i know it sounds stupid) but they will know instantly coz they use ultrasound.

Wouldn't it be amazing if he did know before I did though?!
Hope you get your bfp x

lilylilac-i really hope thats whats happening, Oh no, ive lost my testing buddy!! I saw you on the feb list, but i hope you can test early and tell us youve got a bfp!!!!!!
Used to be really funny as my little one was quite a kicker so he used to get sent flying often.
I know it sounds really stupid, but he was never like that before and had no interest in my hubby at all.
(I also found certain horses were more gentle to me, which changed once i had my little one)
She started meowing at me and would not leave my side. I would say its possible. They can smell hormone changes we cant xx
