Can you believe that some people out there in the world still think that cats don't actually love us back? It's amazing. Somehow, at least a few times a week, when we bring up the subject, someone will tell us that cats don't care - they're only there "for food and shelter", they're only using us. But, as cat owners, we know better. We know that even though some cats are total jerks, and even though cats will do whatever they want, cats will be hooligans, cats will rule the house with a heavy hand, they still love us.
In facts, cats love their humans a lot. Their way of showing that love is just not the most obvious sometimes. Think of them like introverted humans - they show affection, sometimes it just takes them time, and when they do, you have to know how to look for it, where to see it. And ICanHasCheezburger users certainly know what it looks like. That's why, when we asked you guys to show us pictures capturing how much your cats love you, you - of course - delivered.
And still, somehow people say that cats don't love us. What would be their explanation for this? "This cat is just using you as a pillow"? "This cat just uses you because you're warm"? Our answer to that would be: isn't that love?! Don't we do the same thing to humans that we love. Sigh cats are purrfect.
