Wholesome Anecdotes of Caring Cats Working in Shifts to Tend to Their Sick Hoomans

Cats are the sweetest little creatures we humans could ever be so blessed to call our pets and four-legged friends. Today we will be shining our famous ICanHasCheezburger spotlight on a beautiful and wholesome thread that started by one person asking if it is a thing for cats to 'take shifts' to care for their sick humans, and the results were an abundant show of feline goodness. 

The original poster of this thread describes a scenario in which their two cats have been taking turns caring for them after OP broke their ankle and began a difficult healing process. They then asked, 'Are my cats taking shifts?' This question inspired a flurry of feline enthusiasts to pour in from every corner of the feline-loving world wide web and answer that the cats are indeed taking shifts. Not only that, but this is a popular phenomenon amongst feline friends of ill humans. Our hearts have officially been warmed.
