Thank you. I'm thoroughly medicated these days so I am doing a lot better, I still have bad days, but nothing like it was. Yeah, cats are incredible.
When my depression was at its worst, my lot seemed to make sure that there was always at least two of them with me. I credit that with being the reason I'm still alive.
I used to work with a guy who would, genuinely, use the mouse to copy and paste individual characters.
It depends on the cat or cats. Some don't or barely shed, and others shed constantly. In that case, it's normal.
I had a cat called Percy, he's passed now, who would snuggle up to me under the blankets. If I moved, he would let out a heartfelt sigh and resnuggle.
You possibly look the same but smell different enough to be freaky. Maybe just luck she settled on you 🤔🤔
If you are using Wayland, try X11 and visa versa. Also, what graphics card do you have?
