“Cats don’t comfort you when you’re feeling down.”
What a load of crap !!! One thing for certain… cats don’t give a rat’s ass what B.S. you tell about them. They refuse to care less, either about what you think of them, or about the people they love.
“Cats don’t miss you when you’re gone” is a ton of bs. Whenever I leave to go anywhere, I can hear my cats meowing at the door within moments trying to find me. They sit in the window watching for me to come home and they are at the door to greet me almost every single time.
Cats also grieve. This cat watches a video of their owner who had passed away and he tries to cuddle up with the phone. The look on his face when they zoom in on him brings me to tears every time.
One of our cats comes and sleeps next to me when he sees that I’m not feeling well. If he’s in the kitchen when I come down for food with cramps or with a cold, he’ll follow me back upstairs and lay down on me and purr.
Cats are aloof animals who don’t put up with nonsense, will defend their boundaries with claws, and sometimes like to push things down to see what happens, but they aren’t jerks.
My cat will get annoyed if I stay up too late. She sleeps on my bed so she waits for me to go to sleep. Usually, she’s still on the bed when I wake up and won’t leave until I do. She also tends to follow me around if I’m walking around the house. And when I come home, she’s always at the door or in the process of running up to it. She gets angry when we put the dog gate up because then she can’t greet me when I get home. And when I’m gone for long periods of time, she will want cuddles but won’t want to look at me. Like the “I’m still mad at you but I need a hug.”
Cats are great and anyone who genuinely doesn’t get that, I’m sorry. Of course, she still has her moments. She still acts like a jerk sometimes. But I’ve raised my girl from a kitten and couldn’t be happier.
