Wholesome Stories Of Cats Showing Their Humans That They Love Them: ICanHasCheezburger Edition

No matter how many times we prove them wrong, there will always be people out there that will say that cats don't actually love their owners. They believe that dogs do, but not cats. And that's because cats are not always obvious about their love, and because their love needs to be earned. Some cats take longer to warm up to their humans. Other cats are clingy as heck from the very beginning. But all cats - once you give them the space and respect that they need - will end up showing you affection… in their own way.

It's one of our favorite things ever to read stories of cats showing affection to their humans, so, every once in a while, we ask you guys to tell us how your cats show you that they love you. And your answers never disappoint. So, here is the latest ICanHas edition.

    Font - Top fan Kristy Weldon My cat Hobbes was with me though chemo. He would lay with me on the bathroom floor. If it was a really bad day he would have to leave the room gagging. He would look at my friends and would nip a them for not going to help me. He is gone now but always in my heart. 90013 Like Reply Hide Send Message 2d
