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.

"Sayo would always give me head bonks, and wanted to be touching me always. We even slept with our foreheads touching. She was my kitty soul mate, and I'll never heal from losing her at the age of 18 1/2."
"She waits for me whenever I am getting dressed in the walk-in closet and when I get out she then wants to jump on my lap for a morning pet. Every morning! I'm certain she just wants to mark me with cat hair before I go to work."
"Ebenezer comes and sits on me when my blood sugar is starting to drop fast...he and my other black cat do this. My other cat Winnie woke me up this afternoon my blood sugar was 100 with the double arrow down...I totally slept throught the alarm"
"She lays on me at night. She was the one who knew I had cancer before I did. She would howl and get so needy, so I went in for a well woman check. I am cancer-free 5 years, thanks to this lovely lady."
"If I sit or lay down, I am wearing one or more of my 4 cats. They surround me and we nap together. The chorus of purrs put me to sleep fast. Buckaroo snuggles my neck and is unbelievably sweet and cuddly!"
