Wholesome Stories Of Cats Showing Love To Their Humans

Every person who owns a cat knows that they are an incredibly affectionate animal. They just get a bad rep for some reason with others. People do not understand the ways in which they show love, but that doesn't mean that they don't do it. And Cheezburger users, animal lovers like us, know that better than most. 

So, when our awesome users share their stories on Facebook and make our hearts flutter with love, we only think it's right to share their stories with everyone else as well. And if you're one of our users and have a story worth telling of your own, come talk to us in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime.

    Gesture - Sandy Holcomb Sinkler When we adopted an adult cat, she had allergies and was a little sick. I kept touching her nose to see if it was warm or cool. She seemed to associate that with care for someone not feeling well. Now, whenever l'm sick, she will not stop touching my nose. 69 Like Reply Message 10h

    My cat is similar to yours. Though she doesn't come awwdorably boop my nose when I'm sick, whenever I have stomach pains, she does come over to me and curl up next to my belly, purring and providing the comfort that I never realize I need. 

    When cats love, they love hard, and it's the best feeling in the world.

    Font - Tiffany Reek I had my kitties for 11 years at this point. My dad went into hospice care and it took 6 weeks for him to pass. Of course, I was an absolute mess for these 6 weeks plus an additional four weeks of heavy mourning. Well, one of my kitties developed a skin rash and started scratching herself. We ran every test possible at the vet, and when everything came back as normal or negative the vet just asked me, "Has anything major happened in your life recently?" I explained the situat

    It's not a great feeling, we understand, knowing that you caused your pet pain, but in this situation, it wasn't something that was avoidable. Their couldn't hide their worry over you the same way that you couldn't hide your worry over your dad. It may not be a positive thing to hurt them in such an unintentional way, but at least you know now just how much your fluffballs love you.

    Font - Kacey Lee My cat wouldn't eat and hid under the bed while I was in the hospital, despite attentive care from several experienced cat people friends. When I got home I took a bath and he plastered himself to the side of the tub. Wouldn't let me out of his sight for at least a week. Like · Reply · Message · 9h

    Like we said, when cats love someone, they love them intensely hard. They are independent and unattached, but when they do get attached, they become the most loving and loyal animal ever. This kind of treatment is proof of how much they care, and we think it's something to really, really appreciated.

    Font - Susan Ruby Today we had to put my mom's dog down it was quite sudden. When we got home and sat down, my cats instantly came to us. Two started being silly and showing off (which is not the norm), one did his super stretches on the floor, and one climbed into moms lap and snuggle up to her cooing. Then I had a huge shock, my big main coon mix who is an ass about not laying on your lap until he has at least 50 walk arounds, jumped into my lap and laid straight down. Then he put his head han

    Cat - Victoria Bardsley A few years ago I had a nasty case of the flu. Casey stuck to me like glue - followed me absolutely everywhere. She did the same thing way back in 2014 when I had a concussion and I was puking everywhere. She wouldn't leave my side and would paw at my face and lick me just to make sure that I was okay. Cats are wonderful animals. They own you. O 15 Like · Reply Message 7h

    Font - Kandera Lockwood I was about to commit suicide and was sobbing uncontrollably and my cat came over and gently bit my arm and mewed softly three times. She had never done that. It was the sweetest thing. She could tell I was struggling. I don't have her anymore but I remember her fondly. OOD 32 Like · Reply · Message · 10h · Edited

    Font - Tina Riegel Of course they have feelings!! I had 2 that were raised together from little babies though not the same litter. They were together over 16 years.

    And it's not just cats either!

    Font - Charity Hicks My ferret lost his bonded partner and stopped eating and stopped drinking and I could see him slipping away and I picked them up and I held him and I cried and he looked up, and smelled my tears, and lick my face and then ate the food I was offering him and started eating and drinking again. I honestly feel like if he wasn't as bonded to me he would have let himself go. He stayed for me OD9 186 Like · Reply · Message · 11h · Edited
