There's this annoyingly prevailing stigma out there that cats don't actually love their humans, but every single cat owner knows otherwise. Cats can be incredibly affectionate. They cuddle their humans, their show us love. It's just that cats show love in unique ways. They're not like dogs, they're not like humans. You have to know how to read their affection - and how to appreciate it.
A group of people who definitely knows how to do both is out ICanHasCheezburger family on Facebook. They know that their cats are all special, and they know that their cats love them, so when we asked them to tell us ways in which their cats show them affection and to prove this stigma incorrect, they jumped on the opportunity, and we love and thank them for.
Eat it, haters, cats are purrfect.
Physical affection like that is not something that every cat does. They have to truly feel comfortable, happy and calm for them to do that. So, knowing that this little fluffball does it and keeps doing it despite of the sickness makes us happy. We hope that every single day she has left is filled with as much love as this comment.
We have never heard of a cat who feels the need to comfort their human when they wake up from sleep, but we have seen cats who are normally not so affectionate attempt to comfort their humans when they're distressed. Comforting is definitely a form of showing love for them, and our heart melts every time they do it.
