Callie here — and let’s settle this debate once and for all: yes, we cats love our owners. We just show it differently than those slobbery tail-waggers do.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Does my cat actually love me, or am I just the person who scoops the litter?” … lean in close, hooman. Because we’re about to dish the purr-sonal truth.
🐾 Signs Your Cat Loves You
We may not send you heart emojis, but here’s how we shout “I love you” in cat language:
Slow blinks 😻 – Our version of blowing kisses. (Mama is the queen of this one.)
Head butts & cheek rubs – We’re marking you as ours. Congrats, you’re officially property.
Following you around – Even into the bathroom. Seymour swears it’s true love, not creepiness.
Bringing you “gifts” – Yebba once left a toy mouse in the shoe. You’re welcome.
Sleeping on you – Risking suffocation for a cuddle = true devotion.
As researchers at cats.com point out, studies show cats form secure attachments to their humans — just like children and dogs do. So yeah, the science backs us up.
💡 Why Humans Misunderstand Cat Love
Unlike dogs who wag their tails like windmills, cats are subtle. That doesn’t mean we’re cold. It means we’re refined. Mama says: “Just because I don’t jump up when you walk in doesn’t mean I don’t care. I’m just conserving energy.”
