A Cat's Love

Little do people realize how loving cats can actually be. Are they independent? Yes? Does that mean they're heartless? No. OK, so cats aren't like dogs who wag their tails with joy, or jump up when they see their owner. Cats are a little more subtle with their love. And yes, if one needs love to like bam right in your face, it's possible this love can be missed. The "cat kiss" is a one way a cat can show affection. A "cat kiss" is just simply a slow blink a cat does to another animal or human who they like. It's such a simply gesture that one who doesn't know of it could let go by without realizing. To also demonstrate cats capability of loving, let me just talk about my cats. Cats also nudge ones head with theirs to be affectionate. Ramona does this a lot. Almost every night before I go to sleep she joins me on my bed and nudges at me to where I'll pet her and she'll purr for a good amount of time, then she goes to the foot of my bed and falls asleep right next to my legs. Cats also like to be around one, whether right next to or not, they might just be in the same room. My outdoor cats always come when they see me. I'll open that door and one by one they show up. Retro will even wait for me. She will sit by the door all day, and when she sees me she'll tap on the door with her paws. They might not even really like me petting them, because it's not something they're used to, but I feel they enjoy my presence as I enjoy theirs. Cats have big hearts, one must also learn to feel love rather then just see it.

  3. I have seen my cat do the "cat kiss." I never really knew what it meant or if it meant anything at all. I thought he was always just tired and didn't want to open his eyes all the way.

  4. I've always saw cats as mean grumpy animals. But, after reading this blog I see cats as loving animals as well as adorable (even though im allergic to them.)

  6. Gale this is so cute! My dog does the head bump thing as well, throwing herself at you until you pet her. Do you think animals do this to show us they have affection for us?
