Are you ready to go home for the day? Well, thankfully there is not too long left until you will be free from the shackles of the working day. And that means it is time to start thinking wholesome thoughts about your feline fur baby. The cuddles you'll have on the couch, the way they will greet you when you walk through the door, the way that they will demand that their dinner be served to them. And with this list we go one step further to enjoy the stories of the feline pawrents of reddit who's cats go as far as to be their protectors and guardians.

From the cattos who sensed the bad energy of a hooman who was visiting and made themselves scarce, to the caring cat who diligently guarded its pregnant pawrent from everyone and anyone who came near, to the fluffy feline who sensed that its pawrent was really sick and forced herself into their arms for cuddles, to the selfish catto who only really protects himself. These heartwarming and hilarious cat stories are just what we need to get excited to see our feline fur babies in a few hours.

    Obviously I know cats are attuned to the emotions of their owner(s) (usually lol), but I find it kind of endearing thinking back on this memory. My aunt was a narcissist and I grew from tolerance to a genuine hate towards her. Just to give you an idea, she called me on Christmas one year and yelled at me until I cried, calling me "evil and ungrateful". I was 8. This was not the first time. Anyway, she came to visit one year, and we had gotten our girl Cali in the past 8-10 months or so. I was (a

    See, this is what Disney missed out on. In all the stories of abused children or women, there was never a cat who jumped to their aid, when as is apparent from this story there most certainly should have been. Well, here is to hoping that soon they, or someone, will have to good sense to make a feline hero.

    sdhoigt ⚫5mo ago ww Charlie was my family pet growing up and while he was the family pet, I was absolutely the closest with him. A good way to describe it was that he was the family's cat but he was my brother. Anyways, when I was in university, I nearly died of pneumonia, collapsed semi- conscious in my basement with a fever so high it put my body into a heat stroke. Now I have no way to say what he was thinking, but I choose to believe that when he went and pulled tissues out of the box and dr

    Difficult Sea_2353 • 5mo ago The family cat when I was 4 or 5 years old. He was a rescue my dad found on the street behind the local police station. He was incredibly angry towards my mother and father, but somehow always tolerated me. I could drag him around, dress him up, I even put hand lotion on him one time. One day I was playing with our dog in the backyard and he got way too wound up, ended up knocking me over and running across me lol. The moment I started crying for my mom the cat launc

    What a wonderfully purrfect example of what we are talking about. Cats do not need to always be present to be protecting you. They watch, from near or far, and when the critical moment comes they are there for you, ready to tap into their big cat instincts and take down any opponent with cunning, skill and furry ferocity.

    Laney20 5mo ago My kitties know good people, too. My mother in law visited once and they all hid the entire time. A month later, my sister visited (maybe the second time they'd met her in like 10 years, so it wasn't familiarity). The cats came up to her within 5 minutes. They like her very much, haha. (we don't speak to my MIL anymore)

    Ghost--2042.5mo ago My BuBu. I was really sick with covid, writhing in agony in bed, struggling to breathe, in so much pain. She forced herself into my arms for cuddles, I found comfort and fell asleep. She got me through the night. Will never forget.

    material_mailbox • 5mo ago I have an example from today that is much more benign and coincidental. I live in a city where the temperature rarely dips below freezing. When it gets cold enough they advise us to drip our faucets to prevent water pipes from being damaged. I didn't realize it was supposed to get below freezing last night, not sure if got down to a temp that could've risked pipe damage, but I didn't drip my faucets before I went to sleep. Cut to this morning, I get up and start my mor

    One Science8349 ⚫5mo ago My ex husband was a vile human. Anytime he'd scream at me or fight with me, my cat would piss on his clothes. We had one really big fight, it didn't get physical but furniture was smashed and it was just really not good. He went to bed that night and my cat had taken a dump in the center of his pillow. > 199⇓ ☐ Reply ↑ Share Ezypeezylemonsqueezy ⚫ 5mo ago I'm sorry about your ex but that comment made me laugh.

    justaspark77 ⚫5mo ago This is Bikki, short for Cream Bikki (a type of cookie here.) He's also called Professor Bikks. He probably teaches me more than my actual teachers lol. His favorite subject is physics. He's not very good at comforting people and usually he just ends up wiggling around upside down and clawing me and simultaneously purring like an engine, but he's always there for me when I have panic attacks. Helps a lot too. My lil weirdo.

    so-it-goes-and ⚫ 5mo ago My cat knew I was pregnant before we knew. She started sleeping VERY close to me, which she usually only does if she's cold. It was summer and way too hot to have a cat close to me all night, so we were like weird cat, what's up with you? We had visitors stay a couple of nights and my cat slept on the end of our bed facing the doorway. Like she was guarding us. Weirdly, once we realized I was pregnant she stopped sleeping close to me. 수 186 KirRoyal0606 Reply ↑ Share 5mo

    MysticSparkleWings ⚫5mo ago Truffles will be 2 in February. Fortunately, she hasn't had many opportunities to feel the need to "protect" me, but the signs she would are there. Just recently, I was sitting on the couch, telling my mom about a frustrating shopping/customer service experience; Truffles was sitting on the opposite end of the couch washing herself. As I went on, I started to get a little animated and raise my voice. Truffles got up, walked over, and put both front paws on my shoulder

    Yammie218 5mo ago This is Skooter. I've told this story on here before but I will take any reason to gush about my little lost boy. Skooter was(is? I will use past tense) very similar to yours. He didn't like other people and would hide when someone not in the family came over, and he would run away from strangers. One afternoon I was sitting on the front porch with him, just chilling out and giving him pats. A delivery driver walked up to me to give me a parcel. Something felt off about him and

    Mapache_villa ⚫5mo ago My girl, Sofonisba, she is really sensitive to people crying, if she hears someone crying she will go with them and meow until they pay attention to her, she then start to purr and cuddle. This was particularly evident a couple years ago: my dad was very sick in the hospital and my house was functioning as a family base since it was the closest one to the hospital, obviously there was a lot of crying and Sofonisba was there for everyone who needed some support, especially
