My awwwww! thread

[vicisthebest]

People who say cats only stick around for food have clearly no experience with cats. I was shocked at how close they get to their family and how different each ones personality is. Our two for example won't eat very well if we are away and my folks are here feeding them. Murray has slept on the bottom of our bed since he was a kitten and I'm 100% convinced he considers us family. The pair of them would groom us if we let them.

Cats aren't fickle, they are just independent and intelligent.

Totally true. We went on holiday recently and left my sister house- and cat-sitting. Sam, our year old cat, wouldn't come in the house for the whole week. She had to leave food in the garage for him, where we presume he was sleeping. As soon as Sam heard our car pull up when we got back, he came running out of the bushes miaowing and was straight in the house. He was like a shadow for the next few days, everywhere I went he followed me.

Our little lady Poppy, Sam's sister, is such a personality. She's really vocal, and if you talk to her in a high pitched voice it's like having a conversation with her because she miaows back at you after everything you say . And she's so affectionate. She never bites or scratches, even when being bathed or having to take her medication (sadly she's got a condition which means she's permanently on medication) - maybe that's why she's so attached to us, she's needed a lot of love over the last year.

And, to add my pic of the cuties when they were little (have posted before):
