When my old cat was dying, he started laying on my chest like he’d never done before (though he was always affectionate). I think he was trying to say goodbye. Even though his bones were old, he still came when I called him. Love and miss him. Cats are truly special.

I am envious of all the people who have a cat in their household that loves them. I had two Maine Coons and when they passed, I was miserable. I am a senior citizen now and would love to get a new best friend. People who have never had a cat cannot understand the love they bring.

As a man who loves cats, I thought it was nice to see other men showing such affection. Yes ladies, we are as besotted as you are

Cats can be so misunderstood. They are such wonderful animals. Love this video.

I've gotten way more unconditional love from my cats than I've ever gotten from human beings!

I've always said that one cat has more love than ten people. I adore cats and have been around them all my life. Can't imagine living without them.

My cats are literally the reason I'm still here today. I've been in such a depression and, in the past year, it's gotten far worse, but any time I ever thought of or made plans to do anything to myself, thinking of my cats put a stop to it. I couldn't leave them behind without anyone to care for them. So, their presence has saved my life on numerous occasions. I've spent my entire life around cats, from having "family" cats to now having my own, and every cat has their own unique personality that you just can't help but love. It's true that cats might not be as outwardly and obviously affectionate as dogs, but it takes knowing what constitutes affection from a cat to really appreciate them when they do show it. If I go to bed earlier than usual, my oldest will come to bed (when she usually prefers sleeping in her cat bed on the floor next to my side) and sniff my face to make sure I'm feeling okay. When I'm working at my computer for extended periods of time, my middle furchild will jump onto my desk and throw herself into my arms, as if she's forcing me to take my hands off the keyboard and take a break for myself (that, and she loves being held and will fall asleep within minutes). My youngest is more bonded to my roommate than me, but even she will curl up behind my knees when we're napping and comfort me with her body heat, not to mention bring me her toys to show she wants to spend time with me. I can't imagine my life without cats in it, and even thinking about it has me wiping tears away. I wish every cat in the world felt as loved as the ones in this video do, but sadly, there are still many that think of them as pests. It breaks my heart into pieces. I've received more unconditional love from cats than any human being in my life, family or otherwise. I plan to always have cats in my life in some way. They may not slobber all over you or be overly physical with their affection like a dog would, but whatever you give them, they will repay you with tenfold throughout their entire lifetime. Please consider going to your local shelter and adopting one if you have the time, patience, means, desire, and ability to care for one. You won't regret it.

I got a kitten when I was 25, and he was my first pet. I never felt a love so pure and unconditional. He passed away a few years ago at 15, and I never cried so much in my life. I still do when I think about our wonderful memories. When he died, a part of me died. He was my heart. I love you maximus, I know we will be reunited again one day and I can't wait.

Cats are definitely a gift given from above. They are medicine to the depressed soul

We put our cat to rest after 18 years. I never thought I would be so emotional about losing a cat. Generally he was my wife’s and he spent most of his time cuddling with her. But about 5 years ago I was lying on the couch feeling unwell and suddenly he climbed up and sat on my chest. It was only later that I thought he must have sensed I had a heart problem because some time later I ended up in hospital and had a stent implanted. After that he was on my lap/chest every evening without fail. I would put on a particular hoody which he’d already “ruined” with his claws so he could kneed/perforate my stomach wIth his claws. I still miss the little guy.

Cats are not cold, they're just simply not naive. They are actually really good at protecting us. Have you seen the monsters? No, didn't think so. Thanks cats

One of the greatest cat's I ever had - a big gentle giant orange Maine Coon - passed away while I was away on business. my friend who I had told to keep on eye on him said he found him lying across my shoes because it was my smell there and he wanted to say goodbye to me. I am in tears writing this, I will always miss him and never forgive myself for being away when he passed away. I miss you so much Mel, I will see you on the other side at Rainbow Bridge.

Proves that even in the darkest time there are people and pets always willing to give love.

They love you unconditionally , don't care if you're fat , skinny , pretty , ugly ... They just simply and truely love you .

Beautiful video. My 19-year-old cat died today. She was very affectionate with me. But we shared a long life together. She was with me throught two pregnancies and two house changes. I will miss her so much. Bless her heart and claws.

Cats are extremely affectionate and the love very deeply. This is a beautiful video.

I wish every cat in the world was this loved.

Long ago I was very sick and required an operation, and needed bed rest for nearly six weeks. During all that time, my calico cat stayed in bed with me except trips for her food, water and litter box visits. She lay against my surgery site: purring, napping, playing with me. I’ve no doubt that I healed more quickly because of her affection. I called her my nurse.

It’s an honor and a privilege to have a cat like you.

Proof kitties can be just as loyal, and loving as our canine friends❤🐱🐈🥰

My cats literally save my life. I can’t imagine my life without them. The past couple years have been so stressful and feeling depressed. My little guys help me to heal so much ❤️❤️❤️

Cats move like royalty. They are beautiful creatures.

I had a cat for the first 20 years of my life, i grew up with her, she was my friend as a child and my confident when i was a teenage boy, she shared my secrets and kept them...when she passed it took me another 36 yrs before i got another cat, my 4yr old son found a tiny dirty little kitten and asked if we could keep it, best thing that has happened to my family for a while and now my son has his confident to play with and keep his secrets.

My cat always lays next to me at bedtime, she gives kisses, always has her tail standing right up and just seems so confident 💕 when I come home from work she comes running to the door meowing so happily and she’ll ask to be held and for pets. I love my baby girl ❤ the day we got her I told her I’d promise to take care of her the best I could and give her nothing but love and affection, I cried lol. I think she also knew what I was trying to say and could feel the love 💕 cats are amazing

I have an amazing story about our cat Molly. She was a ruthless hunter and killer of wild rats and mice and was always bringing in their mangled remains. My daughter had a tame rat called Freddie. One day, Freddie escaped from his cage and was running around the floor. Molly entered the room and we thought Freddie would be toast. But no, to everyone's astonishment, the two were playing a game, Molly never hurt Freddie and later they cuddled up together, can you believe it? Sadly they are both gone now, but I will always remember them.

I am a dog person, but I recognize that cats can be great companions. Growing up my best friend was a cat, and she was the most lovable creature ever.

For me was never a doubt about it! They understand and love us really deeply, very deeply❣️❣️❣️🐾

Nothing can beat the love of a cat. They are just as loving as dogs.

My cat once heard me throwing up in the toilet. He came running and talking to me at the same time. He put his paw on me and held it there till I was done. He loved me I have no doubt.

Anyone who says cats are not affectionate, have no clue. They are one of the most loving creatures on the planet, but you have to know how to get them to love you. Cat haters will never have a clue.

When I hear those little claws tapping towards me and then feel the cat jump on my legs. I know not everybody will understand this, but trhis is happiness for me.

God I miss my little man. Being home is nowhere near as fun as it was when he was here. One positive is I got to adopt another cat and give them the love and affection that they deserve.

I can vividly remember one day I was just so sad and lonely and was on the verge of crying and my cat came in my room and looked straight at me jumped up on my bed and curled up right by my face and started licking my cheeks and I started to cry. I cudnt believe he knew how sad I was and wanted to show me he cared. Not long after I started to smile again.

I actually had a friend who was extremely depressed, more depressed when I was throughout my depression and he had to move back in with his parents after having some problems with his house after his fiancé died (they were childhood sweethearts) and his parents had a cat that some would consider "fussy", he would always be independent until he met this friend of mine. After that, everything changed! The cat began walking into his bedroom and sleeping beside him, he would never ever leave his bedroom, he was so heartbroken and didn't want to get up or do anything and the cat somehow would beg him for attention. At first he was too sad to respond to the cat and would ignore him (not intentionally, he was just too depressed) and then after a month, he began coming out of that bedroom more and then gave into the cat and petted her. The cat would snuggle with him, cling to him like a magnet and refused to leave his side. Even when he was in the bathroom, she had to be there, otherwise she'd meow the house down and claw the door so he had to leave the bathroom door semi opened so she could get in and out whenever she wanted and she'd sit there and wait for him until he was finished. When he went back to work, the cat would go outside and sit on top of the bins and just wait for him until he got back. It's the most beautiful friendship I'd ever seen between a human and an animal. I don't know if he's still with his parents or if the cat is still around but I do hope they are both still happy because it seemed as though they healed each other considering he was heartbroken from grief and the cat was a rescue after being abused (previous owner apparently would ignore her and starve her so she was adopted from a shelter by my friend's parents).

My cat Sophie recently passed away 2 weeks ago. She loved spending time with me and even followed me to the bathroom. She was in my room while her body was slowly shutting down she was 6 years old. I love and miss you Sophie! I just hope my next future cat will spend more time with me just like Sophie did.

Our cat Fluffy was 19 when she went OTRB. She had a stroke and lost the use of her back legs but was still quite alert. Just before she passed she sat up, looked at my Mum, my Dad, my brother and me, and at our dog Patch and meowed at each of us. I believe it was her way of saying goodbye to us all. Merry has been with me ten years now. She arrived as a tiny feral kitten with her mum but always wanted to be inside and she seemed to know her way around as though she had been here before. She helped my Mum and I after we lost my Dad in 2017 my coming to us if we had one of our wobbles and gave us head bumps every night at bedtime. My beloved Mum passed away in July, she was just weeks away from her 93rd birthday, and Merry has helped me by giving me so much love and is always there when I need a head bump or a cuddle. ❤😺😻❤️

As someone who is autistic, I see cats as kindred spirits. I have extremely high empathy that often fails to be perceived as such, because I don’t naturally express it in the same ways that most people do. Similarly, cats may generally not be as outwardly affectionate as dogs, but when you know them well, you can clearly see all the subtle ways their attachment shows. I have 3 sleeping just beside me right now, and the mere fact that they all chose the room I’m in for their nap is enough for me to appreciate how much they trust me and enjoy my company.

I think maybe the reason why the stereotype of "cats are cold and distant, dogs are warm and loving" persists is because cats are just as affectionate as dogs, the difference being that dogs can love just about anybody whereas a cat's love is usually exclusive towards one person, at least that's what I've personally observed from my time with cats.

Cats understand what you do for them, and they express gratitude every day.

I went to the animal shelter to rescue cats, and in the end, they rescued me in return. I've got two adorable floofballs now and they are able to help me more concerning my anxiety and my depression than any human. It's in the way they purr, show affection and are non-judgemental when I'm having a break down or an anxiety attack or a weeping fit. No stupid, unhelpful comments, no pressure to just "get over it", no cruelty, no hate. They are just there for me with their calming presence. Cats, pets in general are able to cure what humans have destroyed in your heart and soul. I love them so much, I would always protect them, no matter what, no matter the circumstances. Since I have them, my mental health has improved so much. I got a lot less anxiety now, my attacks have subsided dramatically and I am more laid back. Life isn't just a bleak, black hole anymore.

Yes my. Cat saved my life! Literally! Before I was diagnosed with heart failure… i had a really busy day, a Mother’s Day and had driven 3 hours up and back to family. Getting home late an too tired to change clothes… falling into bed. Turned out i was too tired to breathe. My cat settled in my face and would claw at my lips to wake me up to breathe. At first i yelled at her then i put it all together and stayed awake till morning and a dr. Visit.

When my mom was admitted in the iCU and i feel like i can't take it anymore, i decided to get a cat to keep me busy while waiting for my mom progress. Unfortunately, mom passed away but i have my cat and she helped me to move on. Thank you my angel. You're the best ❤️

I really miss my Dennis 1994 - 2013..... 19 Christmases 19 Birthdays 19 Summers so many GOOD memories!!!

why this actually has me crying, specially with the grandpa and kitten. they are just so sweet and full of love, and it still marvels me that those animals could be anywhere but decide to spend their lifes with us. they say cats just care for food but my mimi goes out of her way to be with me at all moments of the day. she sleeps with me evey night, squishes herself on my lap with my laptop, sprints when she hears that im home. they pick us as family and its such a blessing

Our cat Flash passed on 14 June of this year. Flash was more than what some people say "just a cat." We adopted him from a rescue shelter when he was 2 years old and he loved us from the minute we brought him home. He was my best friend here at home, always close by me, even after I was diagnosed with cancer 7 years ago. When I was going through chemo and I had to wear a chemo pump attached to my bed while I slept at home he was always by my side. Several times after the chemo I got at the hospital I had night terrors due to the chemo effects on my brain. The nightmares were the kind that you scream in your sleep but cannot wake up from them. He would come in and sit on my chest and 'putz' at my face until I woke up, even before my wife woke up to wake me up. As a hobby I sing and play guitar and record songs on my computer. Flash used to get on my computer desk while I was recording the vocals and actually climb on my shoulder and drape himself around my neck while I was trying to sing. He did that for the last time just before he passed three days later. He was the ONLY cat of 6 others that we had over the past 40 years that actually liked me playing guitar and singing. When I would play guitar he lay on one of my feet and didn't mind me gently tapping my foot in time with him gently bouncing up and down. Flash passed on 14 June 2022 after being diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (i.e. renal failure) 11 months ago. Flash was a beautiful soul and my best friend. My wife and I continue to mourn his loss every day. This video made me smile to see so many people with such loving cats. I wish all of you with your loving friends health and much happiness.

I wouldn't be alive today if I didn't have my two little babies. Cats are really great companions when you learn to think like a cat.

I watched my kitty, Sweety, being born and held him the night he died at age 14. He was one of a kind who helped me through the pain of losing my beautiful middle son, Michael. He came to me and through tear filled eyes I could see him looking into my eyes...KNOWING, just knowing. I adopted another kitty from a shelter about a year later and at the time I thought he would be happy with us since I've been owned by cats for 60+ years and know 99% of their pecularities, likes and dislikes. But, Doobie, as I named him met my sons older kitty Vader and wasn't impressed. BUT...after nearly 2 years, a LOT of love and freedom to roam he's stopped walking around muttering to himself (HONEST! He muttered to himself right and left!) He's a BIG Flame Point mix, blue eyes and the softest voice you'd ever want to hear. He knows he OWNS me and I think has decided he MAY love us...no more muttering! I LOVE reading about others lives with the King and Queens of cats! And seeing the absolute LOVE that MEN give to these WONDERFUL animals gives me hope for us!

I had this cat named Zelda, she was my soulmate. But when I heard that she had FIP (Feline Infectious paratonotis) It’s was heartbreaking, she had seizures here and there, it was difficult to look at it. A month later we had to put her down, I went with my dad to the vet and I sat down in a room with Zelda. They took her to another room where they would test her. Me and my dad sat there for hours on end, waiting for her to come back to the room. Eventually they took her back to our room and I witnessed her pass away as I was in the hall holding in tears, I knew she had gone through so so much pain, and it was Devastating to see my first cat die in my hands. On the way back to my house I couldn’t hold in the tears. To this day I have 3 cats and a happy life as an 11 year old. I know this may be a long hard to read comment, but I just want to tell everyone that cats aren’t pests, they just have been treated so horribly that they sometimes turn to pests, but if you treat them nicely, I promise you they are 100 times better then dogs. Take care people.

I've grown up with cats, and they're all different, and yes, they adore their chosen human(s). My current cat apparently knows when someone hurts and where. He'll lay down by where they hurt and stay there for hours and longer. He's also started petting us when we feel down. Yes, he puts his paw on part of us, and moves it side to side. I've never have a cat do that one before :)

Anyone who has ever loved a cat knows that their cat(s) love them back! Thank you for this lovely video of so many wonderful cats.

The proof is whenever I came home from work and Ive had a bad day my boy Mookie will come and sit beside or ontop of me provide some snuggles, and his deep subsonic purr straight through my heart when he lay on my chest and chilled 🥰 My eyes are leaking remembering him, 4 years ago he passed.😣

Cats are THE BEST !!🥰😍😻😻

I had one class remotely with a professor earlier this year, and his cat would just hop up and lie down across his shoulders like a mink stole the entire lecture, comfortable and satisfied. It was so beautiful.

It's heartwarming to see all the gentlemen with their cats. The love is certainly reciprocated. ♥️

Aww I love it when cats being sweet and loving 🐈🐈🐈🐈🥰🥰♥️♥️

Emotional!!! So beautyfull to see the love between humans and animals.

Well, im officially all teary-eyed looking at these wonderful displays of affection!

One of the best moments of my day is when my cat jumps on top of me when I'm at my desk so he can snuggle and fall asleep in my arms. The purring is peacefully healing...and when he picks up his head to rub it against my chin...I love it!!!

Classic. My cat behaves just like these cats. Very cuddly

I created a special bond with my cat. I already had several cats before (they passed away too soon, sadly) and now I have two cats. But only with one did I create something special. And it's so amazing, I don't know what I'll do without her if she dies before me. And I'm afraid of how she would be if I die before her. She kinda acts like a wild cat with other people, and even with my parents who we live with, she's not that comfortable. They say she's a little demon (but I know they still love her). With me she's an angel. She only sleeps on my laps, I'm the only one who can caress her. She really trust me with everything. Always tries to communicate with me. She would stare at me until I look back at her, and when I do she starts purring immediately. I find that so cute. I'm just so afraid if I'm not here, that she won't let other people give her the love she deserves. As I'm writing this, she's sleeping on my laps. Having her warmth and feeling her purring after a day of work, that's my favorite thing ever. I feel so priviledged that she chose me like that. Because a cat's love and trust isn't something you win easily.

I got way more affection from my cat than I ever did from my ex-wife. When care is accepted & appreciated, it can't help but grow.

This is so nice and heartwarming to see how all these cute and adorable cats are so lovely together with their owners. Wish them all many happy years together full with joy and love. Thank you for sharing this wonderful and cute Video 🤗🤗❤️❤️🐈🐈🍀👍😻😻💕💕🙏🙏.

All my cats were priceless rescues who rescued me again and again. My latest rescue likes to sleep next to me with at least a paw touching. I've had to live without cats a few times, it was not a home until there was a kitty to greet me!

This is so cute. Speechless. Heart-felt.

I wouldn't be without my cats. There's always room in my heart for more. I've never met one that I didn't adore, and didn't return the same.

Coming home to my cats is the highlight of my day , know matter how bad a day I could've had they always bring out the best. Thank you finn and rosie for bringing so much happiness to my life.

Sweetest cat clips ever!!!!💕💕

Awesome. My cat loves me so much. At times, like in bed , it's overwhelming. Too much Love at 2AM lol Nashville Tennessee

My Cody washes my face for me. It's a little painful with his 20 grit sandpaper tongue, but I treasure every moment knowing I'm loved. 😻💕

I was crying over a guy who wasn't worth it and my cat looked at me and slapped me a few times. That was her way of saying she knows I deserve better. I adopted her from a cats home and she died of her virus (had FIV) 2 years later. I always remember her doing that whenever I feel down 😅😪

When I was 11 years old back in late September 1981 that I had a very special bond with a stray cat. He was adopted in mid November 1981. He did liked my sister and my parents in a different way. He was more than my cat for the longest time. He even liked our 1st cat,too. He was a very sweet and friendly cat. He loved his belly rubs by me on my belly. I was lucky to have a cat that I treated liked a dog. I remembered having dinner late after work and he was sitting on a chair next to me with a paw on my thigh. He was a very special friend. Even when I was sick with a bad cold that he did sleep with me in between my arms. I do missed this one cat.

I love my little kitty. I can’t picture my life without him.

They walk into your heart, curl up and purr, and you are their slave from that moment on. God bless all cats. 😘😘

We had a cat in the 1980's. Sometimes when I'm playing piano, our cat jumped onto the piano, walked on the piano keys, stopped and stared at me, and meow'd until I petted her. She was cute and sweet.

Милые прекрасные создания!!❤❤❤

This video brought me to tears. My precious boy died in November (2 months ago) and I miss him so much. He always put his paws on my shoulders and he would hug me around the neck. When I picked him up he would hug me endlessly. I miss my boy so much. He was the best cat ever.

Cats give unconditional love. I have six cats and each cat take turns giving hugs and kisses😺❤️😺💕🐈💘

A dog loves you for what you give to it. A Cats love is earned

Awesome creatures! Always have loved them and many other animals too. They have brains and know affection.

Nothing like the bond between a cat and their human companions. So many of these photos made me smile and cry at the same time. We've lost two senior cats in the last two years and it is a hard loss. I am comforted by all the love we shared and the love of our remaining cats.

To this day I miss my cat Mr.Gray .My little buddy for almost 18 years.

This isn't news to me. We had cats all our lives and we know they choose one person to get the closest to, the one they know gives them all their love and attention. Cats are beautiful companions inside and out.

My cat truly loves me, when I’m sitting in my recliner, watching stuff on my tablet, he would climb up on the arm of the chair, sit there looking at me wanting my attention, we play fight sometimes, he even goes with me to the bathroom, and lays in there till I’m done, or when I’m lying on the bed watching tv, he’ll climb up onto my chest, he constantly wants my undivided attention, I could never give him up, he’s my joy 😊😊😊😊

My beloved, Lilly, after 13 years together, died in mid-June. Here we are in August and tears keep flowing every time I think of her. Miss her lots.

Cats are just the sweetest most sensitive animals I've ever known. Rude as hell though. Lol

This is true. My cat is so sensitive and pick easily when I am not ok. Then he comes cuddling in my arms

Kitties are so sweet and gentle. They like to be in a peaceful environment and LOTS OF LOVE❤️🐈

My true smiles happen when I share my quiet moments with my cats.. such majestic and beautifully loving animals

My cat climbs on me all the time and purrs ❤

One cat I had several years ago. His name was TomKitty was the most loving kitty. He came to my home out of the blue as a stray. He was so poor, and in bad shape. His eyes were matted from a respiratory infection, was starved to death almost. I took him in from the cold one night…took him to the vet the next day, got the infection cleared up, and neutered and all his shots. It was like he was so grateful, and turned out to be the best house kitty. He was “the best bed partner”. LOL! He never snored, and he kept my feet warm. After a few years, he developed a cancerous tumor in his eye. I tried so much to save my TomKitty. I just couldn’t let him go. The vet was right when she told me that the tumor was dropping down in the roof of his mouth that he would not survive. Surgery was not an option for him. So to make this thread a little shorter, I had to have him put to rest. The hardest event I have ever had to do…the video is so self explanatory…”Cats Really love their humans”. Thank you for sharing it. It’s so true they love you no matter what, and show their gratitude in so many loving ways. 😻🐈

There's nothing better than having a cat that loves you. When my sweetie was dying of cancer, it was the hardest time of my life. He was my support system all on his own. They have unconditional love for their special human. ❤️

Absolutely animals love humans. I don’t understand why there would be any doubt about that. Humans are NOT that only living creatures on earth capable of love.

beside my own Mother , i think my cat is the only living creature that truly and faithfully loves me !

My cat used to gently squeeze my chin with his paw to wake me up at breakfast time. And we always greeted him with 'helloooo' when we'd been out. He started saying it back! Visitors were impressed when his meow sounded just like 'hellooo'

When I was little I wouldn't go to sleep unless Mickey-cat was in my arms. Every night he'd stay in my arms until I feel asleep. I miss him.

My dad always used to say how he's had many friends in his life but none could measure up to the little fur boy we had. He loved him so much that when my dad was recovering from the open heart surgery he had he would get up off his chair just so our little boy could have it. And the love was returned when our boy became so distraught and listless after my dad passed away from his cancer. Now both of them are gone and I'm finding it very hard to continue with my life.

I couldn't live without my cat. And I know she couldn't live without me. We are attached at the heart, and I think we communicate on many levels. Cats are a blessing given to us from G-d above! I adore mine and she's a priority in my life. BUT-- that said, when she gets sick or need meds, it's IMPOSSIBLE to get near her. Dogs are dopey and easy to medicate... cats are so smart and sense when you are trying to catch them. I just try to keep her healthy as possible.

With every cat I bonded with and lost over the past 50 years, to my cats today. I love them to pieces. They bring me so much joy and happiness. God gave us cats, dogs, and other animals as a gift to love them as they do us.

Cats are AWESOME!😻❤️🐾🐾

All my past cats and my two now are very affectionate. They know I love them. My last cat Manny knew it was time. He called me, I picked him up and put him in my lap as he could no longer walk, I petted and kissed his head and told him I loved him and told him it was OK to go and he passed in my lap. He was 19. He knew he was loved.
