I know exactly what you're talking about. Isn't it amazing how much cat's seem to instinctively know that we are hurting and they will come so readily to comfort us.
I currently have 2 cats. My Sammy is like your kitty. He will come and lie ontop of me too. He has really bonded with me since I've been at home so much with this depression. And like you also said, Sammy always comes running when he knows I'm crying as if he needs to make me feel better and his comfort always does help immensely because even though I can't seem to feel love from any of the people in my life, I KNOW that both of my kitties love me.
I think pets can be a great source of comfort when we are suffering. I know mine are what keep my alive for who could love them as much as I could. They are my babies.
My heart goes out to Mandy for her loss and to anyone else who loses their much loved pet during the time they need them the most.
Sending cyber hugs to you Mandy.
