12-year-old cat never sat on his owner’s lap until his girlfriend moved in and immediately claimed her lap, leaving the owner in disbelief: 'I was so happy they have their own special relationship'

If your cat approves of your partner, they will make sure that you know about it right away.

And that's important. It's actually necessary. Because if your cat doesn't approve of your partner, that is something that you should listen to. Cats know good people, and if they don't like someone, it usually happens for a reason. The way that people interact with cats is a huge sign. There are people who are are jealous of their partner's love for their cat. There are people who humiliate their partners for missing their cats when they run away. And then there are people who, behind their partner's backs, do everything that they can to bond with their partner's cats. And the cat then shows its appreciation and approval.

It can go in either direction, but if a cat approves, you will know it. And the cat in today's story made sure that his owner knew that he approved of the girlfriend very, very quickly. For 12 whole years, this cat refused to sit in his owner's lap. Despite their bond, despite the fact that his owner wanted it very much. But the second his owner's girlfriend moved into their home, the kitty - just like that - decided that his new favorite spot for cuddles was her lap. And the owner's response… adorable.

We really fell for this at first. For half a second, we legitimately thought that you were mad or jealous that your cat had chosen your girlfriend so quickly. And then, we read on, and we melted. It's not that the cat doesn't show him affection at all, friends, it's that the cat is showing the two of them affection in different ways. He has a special way for each of them. And the boyfriend in this story… man, is he smitten… with the cat and with the girl. This is one wholesome post. And honestly, we wish we could see so much more of this on the internet.

“Everything is better with her here.” This is all that we could possibly need to hear to make this day better for us. Love is real, everyone, and it is possible to find it, even in this day and age. The two of them are building a little family already. Partners, cats, and good vibes all around. Please tell us more about the shenanigans in this house once your girlfriend settles. We needed to see this. This has restored so much of our hope for the future.
