Sit. Breathe deeply & peacefully. Pet your kitty, who loves you. Speak soft loving words to him. He will give you many calm, happy moments in the midst of turmoil.
Your cat is telling you that your most important things are right next to you, aren't going to be lost and will not shrink or disappear in a distressed economy.
Cat futures are strong, and are always a smart buy. Your cat is one of your best investments ever. Protect him and keep him in a safe place.
