My cat once lead me into my garage to show me a leaf she found. She pushed it towards me and played with it when I tossed it in the air.

I lost my 19 year old cat last December. He was a Ragdoll and exhibited every single one of these traits. It was devastating to lose him, but I think I’m ready for another cat. I feel like my Morgan would say “about time! You’ve been lonely and sad long enough!” He will always be one of the best friends I’ve ever had.

It’s important to recognise that not all cats are lap cats. They may love your company, but for whatever reason they may not like sitting on you. But they will show their love in other ways, by sitting near you, or detouring through the room you’re in to casually brush past your leg or to investigate what you’re doing. It’s never a coincidence that a cat happens to be in the same room as you when they have access to other locations. They’re fascinated by humans and the things we do, and they want to be nearby so they can see what their human family is up to. So don’t think your cat doesn’t love you because they don’t fall asleep on your lap. They show their love and appreciation in hundreds of other small ways.

I can't go anywhere in my apartment without my cat following right behind me, and he hates it when I close the bathroom door on him! 🤣🥰

Growing up poor, and in the country, we had a lot of outdoor cats that were my source of happiness and comfort. I was there for many births, even at the age of 8. But, what also cracks me up to recount is my daily walks around the property. I always had a train of 10-20 cats trailing along. I now work in rescue, helped advocate for better resources for the community to have in ways of low cost spay/neutering, and helped make our high-kill shelter a safe place for animals to be.

About a year ago, I lost my 7 year old cat to cancer. Up till her last breath (which she took with her head on my lap) she was so very affectionate. Every night, she would curl up in the “nest’ created by my arm and elbow (side sleeper) as soon as I would lay down, and every night, she would groom me for a long time by licking and nibbling my goatee. It was so adorable, I’ve never had a cat do that. I can’t tell you how much I miss it.

I’ve adopted a beautiful Himalayan whose last person passed away and the family didn’t want her. She is slowly starting to tolerate me. It’s been months but she needs her space. I hope she will eventually see me as her person but I know she is grieving. Poor wee baby.

Just got a cat like 3.5 weeks ago and he’s already my best friend he follows me everywhere, snuggles with me whenever I sit down, and he’s so talkative ♥️ he’s my favorite part of the day and i definitely think he loves me

My cat does all of these things, except follow me around. She prefers to lead me everywhere! I believe she thinks I’m an idiot, and wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything without her! But she loves me, even though I’m an idiot! 🤣

Cats are magical, mystical creatures and I’m honored to have been chosen by my sweet kitty Neo ❤

i will forever love cats. they are so soft, cuddly and cute.

Thanks for confirming what has been apparent for years. My daughter adopted her, and long before she went off to University, the cat chose me. The constant shadow can seem oppressive at times.

My last cat imprinted on me from a kitten. The cat I have now was an abused animal. She was 13 years old at rescue. Through positive reinforcement and slowly building trust by pushing them out of their comfort level, she fully recovered and has imprinted on me even at that age. She absolutely loves and adores me now. Makes me happy to see her happy and healthy again.

Every dog I have ever owned was like my best friend! But every cat I have ever owned was like true family.❤😊

I love it when my cat sleeps in my lap. I have endometriosis and it soothes me, and it’s like they know.

Sharing food, my cat and I shared yogurt, cheese sticks, lettuce.... Cat love is the best.

You are your cat's servant. Never forget that!

I love my cats very much. Hardest part is saying goodbye when its there time.

My kitty is lovingly tickling me with his tail being so excited to cuddle up at night. He loves me though, when I had surgery poor baby was beside himself with worry when my schedule changed. He would “guard” my door and closely follow anyone who came into my room to help and apparently when I was sleeping he would bat and nip others to go away-he’s gentle and tame but protective! I appreciate his concern even if I couldn’t explain to him I would be alright. He gives me some daily purrs to whenever I feel sick. I knew he loved me when he looked at me and rested his chin on my arm and purred at me until I relaxed and my meds kick in whenever I’m in pain. What an empathetic companion I have. I hope he understands I want to give him the same comfort when storms upset him (I leave a hot pad on the low setting next to my bed so he can sit on it and cozy up and relax without feeling pressured to cuddle, storms make him really jumpy and he often wants some space).

My cat plays fetch. He will *endlessly* find whatever item you throw for him. His current favorite is one of my wife’s hair ties. No matter where I throw that thing in the room, he’ll find it and bring it back. Then he’ll sit there looking at me like “Be a good hooman and throw the thing..” He always brings it back to the exact same spot and he never tries to keep it from me like a dog does.

Cats absolutely get used to a routine. My boy has actually become excellent at reminding me to take a break every few hours. If i ignore the "cat face" he uses to tell me the first time he will escalate to meowing, putting a paw on me, and finally climbing into my tools/onto my project until i at least walk into the kitchen, walk to the door (opening is not required but is appreciated), and sit somewhere else for 10 minutes. If i try to cut my break short he meows at me to go back to break. He's a wonderful su-purr-visor.

I remember the exact moment my perfect boy Sammy realized I was his mommy. From that moment on he was absolutely obsessed with his momma. He was the best cat and I will never find another kitty like him.

My old boy had kitty-alzheimers in his last years. He'd go around the corner and soon start yowling in terror. I'd say his name and get the sweetest, softest 'meow' and a chirrup as he came back into the room.

I got my girl Abby when she was just a tiny thing. Raised her myself until she was about 5 and when my now fiance came into the picture it was all over. She was a daddy's girl from there on out. But now that she's getting older and has had some chronic conditions crop up, she's come back to her mama for comfort. I may not have been the favorite for a while, but she hasn't forgotten that I'm her mama and I'm honored to be the one that takes care of her and that she knows she can come to me for help. ❤

This video brought tears in my eyes i lost my male cat last year he was 2 yrs old, his mom was also dear to me..... sometimes i just sit in my room reminiscence about how happy he was sleeping on my clothes, jumped on my lap always choosing me among my family...ah i miss him my adorable babu ❤ i hope wherever he is in this world he is happy and healthy ❤️

Sometimes my yellow fluffy guy 'Lion" follows me to the beach for a light swim. He also loves to take boat rides, he follows me everywhere.

Recently got a visit from the cat distribution system. And honestly after watching this video it warms my heart. She is still very young and she was very afraid when we found her. But after a few minutes she followed us home. Didn’t bribe her with food or anything. She just warmed up to us. It’s now week 4 of her being in our lives and I’m so happy to know that she is happy. We love her and glad that she loves us in return. This video helped me with reassuring myself that she feels loved.

My son’s cat of 11 years became my cat when my son moved out with his now wife 4 years ago. His wife is allergic. I became the cat’s number one as exhibited by almost all of the mentioned behaviors. My wife laughs about how much I love our cat. Everyone says he’s the closest thing to a dog socially that a cat could be. I enjoy every day with him, and know that I will be crushed when his time comes.

I love cats. They’re the best thing in the world!

Oh I know my ginger baby imprinted on me. He has been my house manager all our lives together. He'll help me remember to turn lights off or close doors/windows if I'm too sick to properly remember. He'll check the temperature of my shower if he thinks it's too hot. Before I go to work, he'll let me know if I'm forgetting something or inadequately prepared to face the day. His internal clock is perfection, and I really don't need to set alarms because of it. (He adjusted to daylight savings time exactly on time. How even?!) This little furball of mine is the best to have around and I feel so lucky that we discovered each other.

Currently laying in bed watching this video with my fuzzy son circling my head as we share a pillow.

My furry son most definitely chose me the first time I saw and held him. He immediately climbed to my shoulder and proceeded to literally run around my head. When anyone else held him, he just sat there. Not doing anything as long as he could see me. He came home with me and has been my loving companion for almost 16 years. His 16th birthday is next month on the 15th. And 10 weeks from that date will be our 16th anniversary. He is the most beautiful (according to everyone who sees him) tawny color. He has the M on his forehead, but that is as close as he gets to a tabby. On his back and sides, He has lovely tiger stripes. If I had known they were tiger stripes, I might have named him Tigger. Instead he is Pyewacket the 2nd. I named him after the cat in the Jimmy Stewart/Kim Novak movie, Bell, Book, and Candle.

I have had many a cat in my life and all have done these. The slow blink is one I remember since my very earliest memories.

I loved my cat. We shared the same hobbies: Eating, Sleeping, &...................................bird watching.

I had to leave my baby girl behind when I moved far away...I could only bring my original because he was indoors & easy. She was 50/50 when it came to being in or out. She stayed inside for 3 weeks before I left. She was an angel & really loving & got along well with my other cat. She was too hostile for the shelter because again, she only trusted me. I miss her so much...her name is Rose. She appeared about a week right after Betty White passed & I was saving that name for the special one, & she was it. Took me so long to finally touch her. But when she trusted me...she became the ultimate sweetheart

My cat always looks grim. I love her so much 💘

Our cat dragged in a big dead pigeon that she had killed. She looked so proud as she dropped it in the center of the kitchen floor for all of us to see. You could tell she was sharing her trophy with the rest of the family. The dead bird wasn't my favorite sight, but we could all tell how important it was to her.

I'm imprinted on my cat and the other way around.

My cats both greet me at the top of the stairs the moment they hear me coming. My wife tells me mine could be upstairs, but if he hears me he is up in a flash.

A few years ago a friend decided she couldn’t take care of her cat anymore. My friend has a serious illness that makes physical movement very painful. I accepted the responsibility to adopt Tiger. She’s about a bit over 3 now. She’s been with for two years. It took her well over a year to show me her belly. I was so happy. I knew what it meant.

Abby does all of these to me and more. I think the most important one is following me everywhere I go, including taking my bath/shower. Gotta love this

I've noticed when our cats slowly blink at us, a moment later they're out cold. Zzzzz!

I think my cat filled out the adoption papers. I guess she owns me.😂

I have a cat that comes and stares at me when he thinks it's bedtime and 2 that race me up the stairs. I have a cat that would sleep against my legs at night. He now sleeps either across the bed from me or next to his brother who now sleeps pressed against my shins. The cat that sleeps against my shins does not like to be picked up or held. When I got the cats, one hid from me for a couple of weeks. Now, he comes to me a million times a day wanting affection and when I walk into a room, he appears out of nowhere crying for affection. My female cat drapes herself across my leg and sleeps. My knee is covered in tiny scabs from her extending her paws and drawing them back. None of the cats' claws fully retract. All 3 cats scent mark my legs and the cabinets in the bathroom while I sit on the toilet because my toilet time is their affection time and I can only pet 1 at a time. I often sit on the couch with a cat curled up on each side and the 3rd curled up on the back of the couch. I wanted affectionate cats, and I got cats that want affection all of the time.

I had full conversations with my wonderful tuxedo cat. I miss her.

Cats give unconditional love. Several cats sleep in my lap. 🐆🐆🐈‍⬛🐱♥️

Our cat spends her entire day with me. Then when my husband comes home in the evening, she spends her entire evening in his room with him. We think it’s adorable how fair she is with us, she refuses to pick one over the other. She’s definitely not a loner.

My one cat rushes to the door when I come home and literally needs to be cuddled upon my arrival. My other cat quietly waits in the doorway for me say his name in greeting before giving a rub and walking away. My babes are just different personalities and I love them both. When I sit in any room my shy guy will find somewhere to perch where he can keep an eye on me. He doesn’t do cuddles, but if I change rooms, he must to. 😊

I am watching this while 3 of my cats are napping beside me. I live in the country and people keep dropping off their cats knowing that I'll take them in.

I love these furry creatures TOO much! I lost mine several years ago... Not ready to own another just yet... But I'm close to my Sister's cat whom I look after from time-to-time so, this works for me for now... But yeah! No disrespect to dogs... Or dog lovers... But it's ALL team cat for me!!! 🤗🐱❤

Used to play hunt with my cat on our garden. He will go hunt mode and will chase my feet while on the grass. He never bite me he just like tag me.

My cat calls me Mama. I dont have to watch this video to know! Whenever I'm on the porch or patio he will scream at me through the window. Neighbors walking by will stop and ask, "Is-is your cat actually calling you mom and mama? OMG go pet him right now!" I have to explain to them that I'm disabled and I'm always home. He gets plenty of love and attention. He is just really clingy! X'D

Fun fact Big Cats will also slow blink with their favorite caretaker

I tell people that I was raised by 2 mothers, the one who gave birth, and the one one who chose me as a 4 year old. She lived for 21 years and I lost her just before I left for my assignment to Germany. Where, as soon as my girlfriend arrived, I went and adopted 2 more Siamese kittens who, when my daughters were born, shared parenting lessons with us!

We have 3 adopted kitties, none are lap cuddlers. Two are always close by and sleeping on my bed. Paul is lovey to me but I am not his human and he rarely comes into my bedroom. I wish we waited to get more as the elderly cats passed. None are cuddily with eachother either. The youngest at 5 bothers the two 11 year olds who were adoted years apart too.

God bless you for loving your cat🍀🍀🍀

My cat was bottlefed, so she’s pretty spoiled, not that I had a choice… her mother abandoned her and I found her in a bush and took care of her, she doesn’t show many of these signals, she’s got a different way of expressing love, I’ve read that occurs with bottlefed kittens…

is that why when our cat meows at us when she doesn't want to do something, it sounds like NO? And she sits up like humans now... its so weird LOL

I have two cats, both girls, and both twins from the same litter. I got them at 3 weeks, and raised them all by myself. They are now almost two years old, and they are super sweet (and even trained to listen to certain vocal commands!) Everyone always says they want to get an adult cat because kittens are hard to raise, I am here to say that if you want the love and amazing affection people talk about with cats, get a kitten. It's hard, it's a bit tough to get them to learn, and they do tear things up. However, it's so worth it to raise your kitten into the cat just for you.

One of my ginger cats showed up at my house,he was about 2 months old. In a week he was sleeping beside me purrring. Cats choose their owner for sure

My cats do all these except bring "gifts" as they are indoor cats. My cat Caesar was a ragdoll and did all of these, including being at the door to greet me when I came home from work. sadly i lost him when he was 17 due to sudden renal failure. His death was SO hard for me because he was my best friend for such a long period of time. I called him my non romantic inter-species life mate. I was with him until the very very end. I miss you Caesar. ❤

My cat turns 5 later this year and i got her a year ago and she does all this. Shes the sweetest bean.

Unfortunately my cat passed away last year (the vet wasn't sure as they didn't have all the equipment there; but said she probably had cancer. Before we found her, she was living on the streets and had a lot of health problems. We think she was abandoned because of that as she is too friendly to be a feral cat). She originally just showed up at the door and we took her in when we noticed she had no family (we wanted to make sure she wasn't someone's pet as some cats just liked to roam around). She and my other cat at the time that also passed away from old age a few years back (that one we had since she was born), would fight over who got my bed. They always liked being around me. At least she was around for 10-13 years.

My little black cat Salem seems to seek me out if I'm away from where she is for more than 10 minutes. She loves to "talk" to me in these quiet meows, mews, and "murrs."

Both my rescue boys show me 8 out of 10 of these traits. Sense I am older, and they are too...very little play time. I do try to engage that side of them daily but I doubt they get much out of it, but what do I know. Sense they are inside cats I get no gifts, but they do love to block ever doorway with their body, so I guess that means they are the gift! These creatures are so complex, that my vet friends says they are like aliens. I agree and I could not love them more!!!

I think my cat thinks that singing, humming, or going “mmmmmmmmm” is my way of purring. So whenever she comes up to me, I give her a little slow-blink and hum.

My new Peanut does most of these, but I toss and turn so much at night that I just can't let him into my bedroom. I hope he's ok with that.

9/10... Harper actually stops playing with The Other Half if he knows I'm even close by 😢 It's like he's embarrassed that I might see him "cheating" on me by having fun with someone else! Apart from that, I think Harper adores me. Thank you Bast!

I've had several pets in my lifetime, but my last friend, Bitsy is the one I miss the most. Every one of these examples she showed me daily, and since her passing I miss her. It's a time of my life I will always cherish.

Thanks for sharing information... 👍🏼😸🐈

This is where the cat lady seduction begins!

💜 great video thank you. 💜

Cats 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 Cats are adorable ❤️ I once had a cat. She used to purr deeply as I carried her in my arms. Loved it ❤ Once I mistakenly dropped her on the floor. Shocked and bewildered, she just stared at me with heartbroken eyes. The next day, she was gone. She never returned back home. Cats are adorable, but so unpredictable and unforgiving too.

You are only reminding me of my cat 🫠😭

My cat sleeps with me at night, or if I take a nap, most of the day, she sleeps next to my dad, at his feet, or between him and I on the couch.

My cat is like this

A stray cat show we 10 of this sign to complete stranger me

my cat does all these and is so sweet he even knows what room i'm heading to and meets me there when i stand up

All animals follow the food 😂

My Zoey LOVES belly rubs ❤

I always think my cat my sister, and she see me as her brother

My fur monster does all of these, except for the lap. He prefers to sleep ON my feet. Not at my feet...ON my feet. I love my little weirdo

Most of the 29 cats I took in loved me. And then there is Jeff. He is fourteen and huge. I only have two now.

This video makes me miss my Sassy even more than ever. She exhibited every one of these signs. She was the smartest, funniest, most loving cat.

lol , I try to sleep or try to sometimes, he's started now lol , I have paws poke poke poke into head lol

My cat plays with my headband

My cat passes all these test. I’m happy to be a parent. 😺

Lumos is such a sweet little tuxedo baby. His previous owners had him for a bit before deciding to move and abandon him inside our little community. Out of all the houses, he shows up on my doorstep. Within 24 hours, he had became my cat. He's my baby and I love so much. He had been such a strong rock when I felt unloved and depressed. He comforted me while I also became his mother. I gave him food, water and a litterbox. I give him treats and affection every single day. And he's been with me for nearly four years and he shows almost all those signs with me.

When I was younger, we had a cat named Spunky. She was an indoor/outdoor cat and in the summer, when I would sit out on the porch, she would bring me freshly killed chipmunk bodies (without the head). As gross as it was, I recognized how special it was and always thanked her. :D

Been having my 3yo “lord of the fluff”for 2 months and this week he finally started sleeping on the bed with me and lets me hold his paw only through the blanket though 😂

Thank you for sharing this.

My late kittyboi was such a freakin daddy's boy. My ex-wife would always laugh at how he was always just waiting for me to get home so he could be around me, and bedtime snuggles were his favorite time. I'd get home and he'd just sit next to me and purr as if to say "This is where I belong. Right here next to my hooman."

Man this makes me miss motor a lot. He was 15 and the last 1.5 years i had a friend watch him as i was going through some times and he passednaway during that time. Miss my lil bud.

My cat Tulip gets upset when we don’t have our morning snuggles. She also doesn’t like when my husband and I are in separate rooms. She doesn’t know what to do with herself 😂

We rescued a cat that was homeless for 10 years and we spent 4 mouths with her but we lost her yesterday WHICH was very very sad but today we was ask to take two babys i to our home becouse they will be lost to everone so we are resued two more on Thursday glad wecan do this but we still miss thick 44 thats what we our baby we lost

4 cats of our 4 cats have designated me as their favorite person. I do have a wife who has way more experience with cats

Ya know guys like cats too. I have a colony of 27 at the moment

I have 2 11 month Maine Coon brothers. The one, Orion, no matter where he is, as soon as I go to the bathroom he comes running, rolls on the rug, grunts and chirps at me, then will lay down on the floor between me and the door. And, he and his brother, Sirius, both play fetch. Never taught them. They just started.

👍👍 thank you!

One of my cats leaves a toy outside each of our bedroom doors. It’s so sweet.
