Ever wonder how your cat knows when something's wrong, even before you say a word?

Ever wonder how your cat knows when something's wrong, even before you say a word? Science says it's not magic, it's biology. Cats are emotional sensors. Their brains can read micro changes in your body, your breathing, your tone, even your heartbeat. When you're anxious, your scent releases more cortisol, the stress hormone. And your cat, she smells it. Her brain instantly switches to alert mode. But here's the beautiful part. If she trusts you, her brain releases oxytocin, the same bonding chemical that mothers feel with their kittens.
