Time and time again, we will hear the the same thing: "Cats don't really love you! Cats can't actually show you any affection!" We hear it, and though it makes us sad that cats are so heckin' misunderstood, we ignore these comments, because we know that cats can be incredibly affectionate towards their humans. It just takes some cats a little time to warm up to their humans, that's why cats may seem aloof at first.
But when cats love, they love hard, and they love for a long time. How else would you explain these heartwarming stories of cats showing affection that twitter shared with us? There are only so many explanations and excuses you can give before you finally land on the truth - cats are the furthest thing from being unaffectionate when it comes to their chosen humans.
Not only can cats be super affectionate towards their humans, they are also very attuned to their humans' feelings. They can feel our distress and anxiety the same way that dogs and other animals can. Yes, sometimes, they choose to ignore it because it's getting in the way of their nap time, but hey, that's understandable. Gotta get their cutie sleep.
We can imagine that this is one surefire way to stop about every argument that ever happens in this house. We cannot imagine continuing having an argument with someone when it is stressing out our little furball. So really, they are not just concerned for us, they also make our lives significantly calmer.
That's also love. Accept it.
