He's got empathy

A few weeks ago, our cat was throwing up (not a surprise as she constantly runs out of the house to eat grass) and big guy was playing near her. He heard her puking and started to cry. Then she stopped and he was ok. Then she continued to puke and stop for several minutes. And big guy would follow along with crying and then stopping. We were consoling big guy when he was crying. It was really cute. I mentioned this to grandma dino the other day and she said that it meant he had empathy. Yay! He's growing emotionally too!
