There's nothing quite like coming home to a purring kitty perched atop your favorite armchair. Or finding a soft, furry body cozied up against you in bed on a cold winter morning.
Cats have a way of brightening even the gloomiest of days. Although they may not be as outgoing as dogs, but the companionship of a cat is just as special.
Whether they're rubbing against your leg or giving you a playful swat with their paw, cats have a way of showing they care. And it's not just companionship that cats provide.
Studies have shown that petting a cat can help lower your blood pressure and reduce stress. So if you're looking for a furry friend to help you relax, a cat may be the perfect choice. So why do cats make such great companions?
It might have something to do with the fact that they share many of the same qualities as humans. They're independent, yet social.
They're playful, yet calm. They're loving, yet sometimes aloof.
In other words, cats are a lot like us. And that's perhaps why we love them so much.
In this post, we're celebrating the love that cats have for their humans. We curated 14 stories from people who shared how loving their cats are.
1. For some reason, cats know when we need them.
When we feel distressed or sad, they'll be there with us. Even though not every feline will be able to sit on you during these situations, they will do their best.
You only need to know how to interpret it. Sometimes that just means being in the same room as you, but they still give it their all.

Cats are the perfect target for internet memes and videos. But there's also something endearing about their aloof nature.
After all, they're not called "little lions" for nothing. While they're such independent creatures, that doesn't mean they don't enjoy a good cuddle session with their humans every now and then.
So why do cats crave attention from us? One theory is that it all goes back to their wild roots.
In the wild, cats are solitary creatures. But in order to survive, they need to be able to form close bonds with other members of their pride.
Since they can't exactly do that with humans, the next best thing is to form a close bond with their human companions.
