After 4 long years, the chonky cat this woman adopted finally shows her physical affection and demonstrates that patience pays off with fluffy felines: 'HE FINALLY SAT ON MY LAP AHHHH'

We have said it a million times, and we will say it a million more: you have to be patient with cats. We hate that people constantly think that cats are just aloof and uncaring. It's not true. Not even close to it. Cats love their humans so much. They do. They simply don't love everyone. Cats choose the people that they love and want to give affection to. Their affection must be earned, it's not given freely. And that should be okay. If it's okay when we do it, then it should be okay for them to do it as well.

But no, some people expect all cats to love them immediately, not understanding that sometimes, it takes a cat a while to show affection, let alone to show it the way that you want to see it. It can take a cat years to cuddle with their human for the first time. And that's sad, we know that it is. But just think about how ameowzing it is going to be when it finally happens.
