Heartwarming Stories Of Cats Learning To Love Their Humans

Anyone who adopts a cat knows that sometimes, it takes a while for that cat to get used to them. It happens more often with senior cats who have lived most of their lives on the streets and haven't experienced the best of humanity, or with kitties who have been traumatized or physically hurt. But even with the most regular shmegular cat, sometimes, they just need a while to get used to their new surroundings and humans.

Other cats, of course, are drawn to humans much more quickly. They will become snuggle-buddies with their humans instantly, basking in their warmth and getting all the pettings that they want. We love both of these kinds of stories - so long as there is love at the end of them. So, we asked you to tell us to tell us your cats' stories, and our hearts were warmed by them all.
