Does Your Cat LOVE you?

Thierry is my skittish boy and sometimes acts like he wants to be petted but then gets scared and runs out of reach. But I do know that he loves me. He will sit upright and regal looking and stare at me and then slowly blink his eyes at me. I call it lovey eyes and I do that right back at him.

KYKAT – Spike is my skittish boy and he likes to play a game where he runs away when I come near and then flops on the ground and then runs when I get near again. Eventually after about 3 runs he lets me play with him. He just likes to play hard to get. But if I have the catbrush he turns into a mushball immediately.

My babies love me – except for BeeGee – She is my daughter’s cat. Some are obvious and territorial (Dasher) and some are more subtle. (Caspar). Watson is a purr butt. The only thing Baer can think of is amorous love (he is still whole, as is Watson, and the alpha male). Zipper is affectionate, but won’t fight for me (sob), and my mama cat Boo, is subtle, but still wants to lay on top of me – just not constantly.

And I love ’em back!!!

I know my Cat Whiskers loved me. I got her when she was only six weeks old. She did all the things that the article described. I loved it when she would stare at me and I would slowly close my eyes at her and she would respond the same way. We would do this several times. It always pulled on my heart strings. She loved to lay on my chest and purr. She didn’t associate kneading with me but I did catch her kneading an old sweater of mine that I had put in a box for her. She would always be waiting for me at the front door so I had to open it slowly or she would get hit as she would sit there right at the door. When I would go lay down on the couch she would want to curl up in my arms.

Sylvester definitely loves me. We do the eye closing once in a while. He likes to come and sit on my lap where he does his kneading on me while sometimes drooling. He gets this kind of glazed happy look on his face when he is doing this. When he sleeps on the bed, he makes sure he is either leaning against my leg or at least touching me. Mia does this too. She likes to follow me from room to room unless the birds are outside the window. I am starting to experience Mia’s love for me as well.

Eileen..your story of Tiger Lily reminded me of my dearly departed Julie. When she first adopted me I called her Drooly Julie because after 30 seconds of ear & chin scritching,her chin & my lap would be soaked from her drool. lol
