It's interesting how animals like cats, dogs, and dolphins exhibit human-like signs of grief.

That is so true. I'm not a cat person so I don't know how cats act in a situtation like today. Call me crazy but, I think she's distraught.(if cats can be)

Everytime I go outside to do anything...she shadows me. She has never done that before. Usually she just runs up a tree or under the house when we go outside.

When I try to approach her she runs away. If I just go about my bussiness and not even acknowledge that she's there, she stays about 5 feet away from me and follows me where ever I go.

I wonder if she thinks you have the babies somewhere and it watching to see if you lead her to them. I have no idea, just a thought. Or, perhaps she is in some small way, thanking you for helping her.

I definitely think that she is probably distraught. It's like when they say some dogs grieve themselves to death after the passing of an owner.
