No matter how much cat haters insist that cats don't have feelings and that cats don't care about their humans and that cats are only agreeing to living with us for the food, cats keep proving them wrong. That's right. As people who have cats, we know better than anyone that cats can be incredibly affectionate with their humans. Like, yes, it's true that sometimes cats show kindness to their humans in funny ways and that, yes, cats have some ridiculous ways to show love to their humans - like making us stare at their butts - but all of those ways are real and valid.

Our cats love us. We're convinced of it. And we know that you guys feel the same way. So, when we asked you to show us pictures of your cats showing you how much they love you, it was not even a challenge for y'all. You provided some of the sweetest, most heartwarming pictures we have seen in a long time.

"This is my Willow sunbathing on my pelvis. She sleeps with no one but myself and pretty much spends her whole time hanging out with me in my room. She may lay on my dad's lap rarely but she is not the cuddle type of cat so for her to choose my pelvis or my hips as her place and only her place it is considered unheard of usually for her to do that with anyone. She chose me as her number one human that's for sure. She'll sleep with no one else and for her to actually lay down with anyone is shocking. But I let her lay on whatever part of my body she wants to because I absolutely adore her. She is my little shadow."
