Stray Cat Came To Comfort Someone That Was Crying In Public Proving That Cats Don't Lack Empathy

As cat people, we, unfortunately, have to hear a lot of cat slander. Whether it's the classic 'cats are mean' or the constant comparison to dogs. People will say dogs are more empathetic, emotionally intelligent, and cuddly. But that's just simply not true! We can almost say for sure that cat haters have never owned a cat nor had any 1/1 experiences with them. Or if they did, they weren't positive (obviously).

Listen, don't get us wrong, there are many cats out there that are more reserved and maybe even unapproachable. But what we have to remember is that they weren't born like that, they were born into a life that required them to become like that. Whether they were abandoned on the streets or abused in a home, most of the time, a cat's negative attitude towards humans was caused by the human hand. Regardless though, we should never categorize all cats as mean and uncompassionate, because they're the complete opposite and we have just the Reddit thread to prove it.

"He just started purring and rubbing against me without me even noticing him at first, was he trying to comfort me?"
He absolutely was trying to comfort you! Yet again, proving that cats are magical beings that can quite literally sense our emotions.

?? They do have so many feelings and emotions that we're not even half-aware about. We can never know for sure, especially with rescues, but all we can do it love them to pieces and care for them with all our hearts. Das it
