"Emotional Cycle"

I'm sure all women reading can relate to my upcoming little story.

You know when you're at that time in your cycle (just before you start) and you could cry at the

drop of a dime?

Literally?

I began to feel that way last night as I was at Madison's apartment relaxing on the couch

exploring the wonders of the internet.

I remembered this video that a friend had showed me about

someone making it look like his dog was responding to what his owner was saying.

I was looking for it to show Madison and I fell upon another video of something else.

Something that apparently struck my very fragile heart.

Don't laugh at me...

So this video pops up about a cat trying to help his fellow-feline friend.

I decided to watch it and it showed this cat trying to wake up another cat he had been traveling with

(who sadly had been hit by car and was dead).

The cat kept pawing his friend, almost massaging the other cat carefully.

After a couple hours of constantly repeating this action, the cat curled up in a ball next to his friend, nuzzling him.

In the description is said that the cat did this for 4 hours in this parking lot.

People attempted to help the cats but every time they came near, the cat got defensive and wouldn't let

anyone near his deceased little friend.

I dont like cats. At all really.

Never have, and probably never will.

So Madison started watching the video along with me and suddenly my throat started tightening up.

I'm thinking "No. I will not cry. I will not cry!"

After fighting this sudden, serious urge to cry out of sympathy for the animal, I couldn't hold it anymore.

The sad music playing in the background didn't help me!

I was embarrassed and didn't want Mad to see me, so I tried my best not to sniffle, but the tears 

legitimately started rolling down my cheeks.

He saw me and started laughing.

I didn't know why this video was making me cry! It was so sad!

And at the moment, I was VERY much in touch with my emotional side.

Probably too much for my benefit.

Anyway, that's my "emotional cycle" story.

Hopefully I'm not alone in this world when it comes to experiences like this.

I actually would love to hear if you have any similar stories.

Also, here is the video I purposefully set out for about the dog. Here ya go;

At least I think this video is funny.
