There's just something… special about cats that we can't quite put our fingers on. We know we love them - some out even say we love them an unhealthy amount. We know that we would do anything for them, that they are absolutely purrfect. But what is it about them exactly? Is it the fact that cats have incredibly weird habits? Is it the fact that cats will sometimes randomly start zooming around for absolutely no reason? Is it the fact that even when they love us, cats show us affection in incredibly unexpected ways?
We can't say precisely why we love them as much as we do. We just know that no matter how many times we try to pretend that we're actually in control of our house and environment, all it takes is one slightly put-upon look from our cat, and we're doing exactly as they say. Let's just leave it at: cats are just cats, and we love them for whatever the heck that means.
"Our cat Bell. Every time I start my bath water she runs in the bathroom to drink the warm water. She'll even sit on the side of the tub and stick her head in to drink the warm water when she dosen't feel like waiting on me to put more on the side."
"I have a fleece Pusheen blanket that lives on the bed. Both cats have kneaded and nursed on it since we brought them home. Marx does this thing where he holds a huge chunk of blanket in his mouth, purrs, slowly kneads, and maintains aggressive eye contact."
"He was woken up from a dead sound sleep by a bird hitting the window. After jumping & falling backwards off the ottoman, he jumped back up & kept watch for the bird, that thankfully, flew away immediately)."
"This is Tibbers. I had my kitchen redone and got a new faucet. She's obsessed! She doesn't drink out of her bowl anymore; when she's thirsty she just sits by the faucet and waits for me to turn it on. Which, of course, I do. Because I am very well trained."
