my cat helps me play chess when he lays down on my laptop. normally any moves he makes are better than the ones I would have chosen.

He would never sit in one place for that long any other time. Anyone who has ever really bonded with a cat knows they can read and react to your emotions and mood more than most humans. If you ever get scratched by a cat for "no discernable reason" then you are not paying attention to their body language at all. their eyes, ears and tail will all advertise they are going into defense mode way before they try to scratch you, non-cat people are so oblivious in how they approach cats.
If you want a pet that hates you, stays with you only for the food you provide, is a fussy eater, who will scratch you for no discernible reason, who will run away, and who is basically waiting for you to die so it can eat you, get a cat. If you want an animal that will shower you with love and loyalty, as well as exhibit twelve thousand times the intelligence of a cat, get a dog.
Kitties!

Obviously he thought you were going to die of the flu, so he was waiting nearby to be the first one to get to eat you. I saw a documentary once about a cat in a nursing home which would linger around patients who were about to die, giving an unerring signal of approaching to death to the staff even though the staff could not determine which patients were about to die by medical analysis. The cat, I suspect, was using its olfactory senses to spot its next dinner.
In fairness, though, the phenomenon of dogs lingering by the graveside of their deceased master is sometimes attributed to the dog's acute hearing being able to hear the sounds of decomposition, so it is awaiting some opportunity to get at the carrion.

I mean say what you want about domestic animals but big cats are way more interesting and diverse in my opinion then their wolf counterparts.
One thing I always find so interesting about cats is their diversity- the cheetah is small, almost weak but uses its speed to hunt- and then in the other end of the spectrum we have powerful tigers, and on another end again we have lions with fairly complex social structures and teamwork.
Then again dogs are also diverse- and in the wild, the "painted wolves" are similar to lions in that they live in large family groups. And of course wolves in their wolf packs are similar again.
