Cute Yet Mildly Ridiculous Ways In Which Cats Show Their Humans Love

This one goes to all the people who somehow still believe that cats don't care about their humans. We, as cat people, clearly know that that's wrong, but some people still believe in the myths. They don't understand that cats show affection to their humans all the time. They've never experienced the funny ways in which cats show affection to their humans, or they don't understand them, misread them. They don't know that, with time and love and care, even the most aloof cats will show love to their humans. And they've never gotten to feel the magic that is an overaffectionate clingy velcro cat.

Well, today, we are going to disprove the rumors and laugh at the same time. Because while it is true that cats love us, it's also true that we need to know how to read their signs of affection. Sometimes… cats have really ridiculous yet still wholesome ways of showing their humans that they love them, and ICanHas users know that very well.
