Source: The Life of St Gemma Galgani (1909), Chapter XVI, “Gemma's Profound Humility.”

Father Germano describes how a distinguished prelate came specifically to meet Gemma. Unable to avoid the visitor, she picked up a large cat, cuddled it around her neck and behaved childishly.

He records that the prelate shrugged his shoulders, while Gemma departed delighted that her performance had worked.
