One thing that we have learned over our time as cat owners that we didn't know before we got a cat is that… cats really do understand. They know when you are hurting, they know when you need emotional support. They don't always give it, of course, they are picky with when they give out their affection sometimes. But when you really need them, when you truly need to lay your head on their fluffy, soft little backs and just- pause to breathe in, they let you do it. They are there for you. And that is something that we think is absolutely amazing.

It really does sound like the two of you needed each other, and we're telling you - from experience - that one day, years in the future, or maybe even now, you will be telling this story like that whole night was meowgic. You will say that the two of you not only needed each other, but that you saved each other's lives - you saving the kitty from the cold, and the kitty saving you from despair. We are so happy that you found one another, and we wish you both many, many happy and healthy years together.

'[This] cat showed up on my worst week': Affectionate cat runs up to person who's crying outside, sits in their lap, chooses them as her human and and makes their sadness a little lighter every day
Our cats are always there for us when we need them the most.
That's something that we have learned over time, as cat owners. We, greedy as we are, always want affection from our cats. We always want to cuddle our cats, always want to kiss their little foreheads and squish their fluffy cheeks. And we do, don't get us wrong. Our cats pay their rent by letting us love them. But it's not the same, obviously, as when a cat walks into your lap and offers their love.
Some cats are generous with their love. Velcro kitties are some of the rarest and most amazing things that you can have. Other cats… show affection a little more sparingly, but all of them, always, are there for you when you truly need them. Cats know when you are sad, cats know when you are sick, and that's true for all cats, not just yours. Cats can pick up on those signs of distress. Even stray kitties. The cat in this story proves it. This has been a cat that this woman had been feeding for a while, but she never came in, never made the choice to be adopted. Until she found her human crying on the pavement, knew that they needed her, and took the plunge.
