I like Jeeves the AI butler from the Liaden Universe series, who gives comfort to the cats by letting them sleep on him in a dark corner when they are "missing" the character Val Con. It's clear that he's getting as much comfort from their actions as they are from "his".
It's obvious from his description that he is not human; two of the main characters in their younger days decided to redesign the house robot and upgrade its intelligence level. But it's also obvious that he is emotionally as much a part of the family as its living members.
