Because my dog used to always come up to me when I had a bad day. My cats layed in my bed for 14 hours because yesterday was one of the worst days of my life.

ABSOLUTELY!!! They sense your moods. If I am in a bad mood, my cat wants to stay away from me. If I'm sad, she wants to snuggle. When I'm happy, she wants to play. I think you will find that your pet's mood will change in accordance with yours.

Sure whenever I have a bad dream My calico will lie next to me and purr me back to sleep. She's been doing that alot lately.
Once I was crying and she actually put a paw on my face and wiped them away while meowing concern (ok she just spread them over my cheek but an A for Effort)
Same cat watched on 9/11 2001 when the towers came crashing down to the ground over and over on TV. She sat up on a straight back chair and meowed in distress. I doubt she knew what it all meant but she understood that this was not just some movie. Also that my sister & I were very distressed.

Cats can definitely tell when we're upset or don't feel good, and I think it's because we smell different. It's been proven that our body chemistry changes with our emotional state, so I bet that the cat can smell the change and know what it means. It depends on the cat how to act after that. You could have a cat that doesn't give a damn or a cat that tries its best to comfort you. Animals do love (I truly feel sorry for the anthropomorphizing crowd), so it's only natural for them to comfort us.

Definitely. The difference is whether or not you have an animal that cares. We had a female cat that didn't seem to give a flying crap how anyone felt, but our male cat is totally different. If I'm yelling, he's in my face meowing until I calm down. When I cry, he gets as close to me as possible, and if I stop petting him, he reaches out and touches me with his paw. Dogs are definitely in-tune with their owners emotions and seem to be more than happy to lend you a shoulder to cry on:)

Absolutely cats can pick up emotions from their owners. My sister had a cat and everytime she was upset with her husband the cat would poop in one of his shoes or if he was away she would sneak in and poop under his pillow. Turns out the cat was a better judge of character then my sister. My cats use to come up and snuggle with me whenever I was in extreme pain from my back injury or my menses which use to leave me bed ridden for a couple of days a month. They knew I needed comfort!

yes, i think animals can tune into emotions way better than other humans can. i dont think there have been actual studies on this b/c emotions are very difficult to study quantitatively (how do you study how much emotion something else is feeling?). but i have experienced the same with my dog and have heard the same from other people.
