7 Ways Cats Show Affection
Cats love in unusual ways.
It’s one of the biggest things that I love about cats — that they are not as overtly affectionate as you would expect a dog to be. They have this attitude about them that makes me feel a real kinship with them. You have to earn their love and their trust and when you do — you feel all the more loved from them.
Where dogs may cover your face with kisses, bark at you affectionately when you walk in the door and wag their tail when you talk — cats can be a lot more subtle.
From a dead mouse to big dilated eyes — there are some easy signs that your cat is giving you some love, you just have to know what to look for!

I just love kittens and cats so much.
My cat purrs a lot and smiles at me all the time. I can be anywhere and she will show me love and affection. I guess she kind of adores me, as I do her. Sometimes I feel so much of her love that I believe is far greater that any love I have received from a human being. God gives us cats for love and comfort.
I LOVE MY CAT ,JULIE WHO IS SEVE YRS OLD THIS MONTH. I HAVE RASIED HER WEANED OFF HER MOMMY. NOW JULIE IS SO DIFFERENT THEN ANY CAT I HAVE KNOWEN. SHE IS LOVEABLE BUT HOU CAN’T HOLD HER, CAN’T RUB HER BELLY, BUT IF YOUR READING OR WORKING ON HERE SHE WILL COME TO LAY ACROSS THE KEYBOARD ! THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTION FOR A COUPLE MIN AND THEN SHE OFF TO DO HER THING.
I THINK THE CUTIST THING WAS WHEN I GOT HER AND I HAD GIGGET MY CHAWAWWA DOG WHO WAS 14-15 AT THE TIME AND SHE ADDOPED JULIE. OMG JULIE WOULD RIDE AROUND ON GIGGETS BACK ! FOR ALMOST 6MOS. WHEN GIGGET STARTED TI GET SICK AN LOOSE SIGHT WE ALLOWED JULIE OUT DOORS AS SHE WOULD WALK BESIDE MY DOG AN DO DOTIES AN GUIDE HER BACK TO THE DOOR, I AN JULIE MISS GIGGET AN ITS BEEN7YRS. BUT JULIE DOES SHOW LOVE IN WEARD WAYS . I CALL HER MY LITTLE MURSE AS SHE KNOWS WHEN MY DIABETIES GOES DOWN IN MIDDLE OF NIGHT AN SHE WILL BE TRYING TO WAKE ME UP…..
My feonce says that cats only come to you if thy want something but that is not entirely true. As shown right on this page, thay actually really do love you and I believe that They choose thier owner, The owner doesnt always choose them.
