Human beings have pets because they're comforting. Our natural maternal/paternal instincts are satisfied when we care for a smol furry critter, especially when they show us how much they love us. For cats, it's rather rare to see any signs of gratitude from your feline, but their love is just as wholesome as it is subtle. Your kitty might show you that they love you by laying on your lap (now you can't move to go to the bathroom). Your gato might show their affection with a kneady tummy cuddle or a flick of their tail. Cats might even show their affection when they stare at you, with unblinking eyes, from their perch on the highest shelf in the room. They're either looking out for you and watching your back, or their plotting their aerial attack. That's the thing with cats, they always keep you on your toes– and that's why we love them.
