To think that, to this day, some people still believe that cats are aloof and uncaring. We thought that this myth has been dismissed a million times in the past, but no, some people still actually believe it. Some people think that cats can't truly love. But we know that they are wrong. We know that cats love their humans, and that they love other animals as well. We have seen it. We have seen cats be best friends with birds, we have seen cats be best friends with horses, and of course, we have seen cats be best friends with dogs. 

And here is yet another proof of this - not only of the fact that cats are not aloof and that they can love, but also that they can love dogs, the animal that everyone says they hate. If you tell us that this is not clear proof, then we don't know what could pawssibly convince you.

    This… is one of the most wholesome things that we have seen on the internet in a while. We love seeing animals be so supportive of one another, especially when it's cats. Because you know it's a big deal with cats. You know that if a cat treats you like this, it will love you forever and always.

    And we love how gentle the cat is with this pupper. We've all seen those videos of cats just- plopping onto dogs without any care or consideration for their wellbeing, but not here. Here, the cat clearly understands that the dog needs a gentle paw, and so that's what it does.

    Flat Bodybuilder_175 2 days ago I forgot cats did this until mine saw me crying the other day. She looked at me in a way that almost freaked me out. She had a certain expression on her face that I'd never before seen, then she just planted herself on my legs and didn't move for hours.
