Tumblr Thread: Things Cats Do When They Truly Love Their Humans

It's a rumor as old as time - "cats don't love their humans, they just tolerate you because you give them food." Lies. All of it. Anyone who has ever had cats knows, for a fact, that cats love their humans a lot. It's true that sometimes, it takes some cats longer to get used to their humans, that some cats are more aloof than others for a while, and that trust is something that cats take a while to acquire. 

But, when cats finally choose their humans, we know it. We see it in their actions. They may not jump on us the second we come into the house, but they will trust us enough to take a nap on our laps, they will lick our noses because we're too dumb to wash ourselves on our own, and some of them will even trust us enough to leave us with their babies while they nap. Cats love, they just love differently, and these tumblr posts sure as heck prove it.
