Cats are aloof, cold, uncaring and fiercely independent – these words have been used many times to describe cats, but anyone that has a cat in their family knows that these words are not true.
Yes our kitties can sometimes be grumpy and distant, and will often shy away from being petted or receiving a hug, but in reality everybody has their off days and that includes cats!
So to dispel all myths that portray our adorable kitties in this way, Brightside have put together this wonderful collection of pictures showing that our cats are very much capable of love and appreciate being part of a warm and loving family.
1. “My cat figured out that the alarm sound means that I have to wake up, so she snuggles on my chest right after it goes off.”
2. In good hands
3. Even this pretty lady’s tail aligns perfectly with the cushion.
4. “She saw me packing my army kit this morning. Every time she finds out that I’ll be leaving for a few weeks, this is how she sits with me until I leave.”
5. “I work as a geologist in remote areas. I was leaving my camp this morning when I heard meowing. This little guy followed me, climbed up me, and promptly fell asleep. I think I’ve been chosen.”
