I just wanted to let you all know. I absolutely love them. Worship them. They're...

Oh... and they're just so bloody cute. I'm feeling more cat love today than ever after reading a horrific article in the DM that I won't go into detail over and wish I'd never seen. I'll remember it forever.

Love all animals but cats are by far the best, they are amazing and I wish everyone kept them safe and cherished them as much as I do.

Let's share some cat love 💕

I am with you. Cats are the best. To earn the love of a cat is a privilege. I am even honoured when mine walk on my actual face to wake me up.

I've just had to WhatsApp video call my 21 year old son because he was annoyed that when I Skyped earlier the cat was not available to say goodnight. She was purring and he made me hold the phone really close so he could hear her. I swear the cat is the only thing he misses!

I like them - but they make me unable to breathe and shit all over my garden.
dogs really are best!

I see your cats, but I introduce DOGS to the conversation. Dogs are the best 😂

Cats are cute though. Except mine. He hates me, except when he's hungry, then he thinks we're besties. My parents cats are bloody gorgeous though, they like me! Sadly they are not mine 😭

NuffSaidSam · 01/08/2023 21:31

I don't really like cats.

They are cute to look at, but that just makes their terrible behaviour all the worse to deal with. Smiling assassins.

AvidBookAndCatCollector · 01/08/2023 21:31

Cats are life! Here's one of mine.

I absolutely LOVE cats
Itsjustafly · 01/08/2023 21:34

Here's my long boy. He's grumpy, has a terrible attitude, barely moves but I absolutely adore him. I didn't actually like cats very much before I got him

I absolutely LOVE cats
OldTinHat · 01/08/2023 21:34

I'm not a cat fan. I'm dangerously allergic to them and I just don't like them one bit.

However....!!! The poster with a username similar to toddlerstea or something, the one with the poorly puss atm - now I have a massive crush on her cats and I hope her poorly one gets better soon. Their gorgeous faces! I do love, love them. But sorry, other cats, I do not like you at all.

Newnamehiwhodis · 01/08/2023 21:35

THEY’RE THE BEST 🥰🥰

YoSof · 01/08/2023 21:36

Mine is currently biting my toes but later, she’ll curl up on my pillow with her face as close to mine as she can get and purr away. Love her

I saw that article but scrolled by, it would have really upset me to read it.

LaurieFairyCake · 01/08/2023 21:40

I love dogs AND cats !

My best few years a while ago was having 4 cats, a huge dog, chickens, a rabbit, and a fish

Was so much fun

DazedandConcerned · 01/08/2023 21:42

I have 7 😂 All rescues.

Love them to death.

We also rescue Greek cats a couple of times a year. Last year we saved 14 by relocating them - not loads but it’s something.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 01/08/2023 21:49

OP - I suggest you visit the Litter Tray section for almost unlimited pictures of cats.
I love all cats. Except possibly this one. 😹

I absolutely LOVE cats

Ailurophiles - this was in a quiz the other day. I am definitely one.

Joolsin · 01/08/2023 21:50

Cats are the absolute best. Here's mine, looking like an enormous black and white furry Christmas turkey whilst she guards something/sits thinking/daydreaming/who knows?

I am obsessed by cats! I have 3 but dream of adopting a pregnant cat and experiencing the joy of even more cats! The only thing stopping me is my husband, the absolute killjoy 😾 They are so cute it should be illegal and they have lovely squeaky voices and do adorable silly things and are so soft smell so sweet. Cats are my life! Here are pictures my cats, Larry and Mabel, and Sebastian:

I feel you

Life was so much more fun of love when I had numerous pets.

purpleme12 · 01/08/2023 21:53

This is so true.
Cats are the best. And I've managed to pass my love of animals into my child 😍
She is (almost, not quite!) As mad about them as me!

LucyGru · 01/08/2023 22:01

Cats are great. They have terrible PR and people think they're aloof and selfish but they're just loving little furry idiots. I read a thing recently that said that a lot of people who think they want a dog actually want a cat, they just don't understand cats.

Our sweet old girl is like a little zen crystal, she makes everyone calmer and happier just by existing. She's rather overweight and smells a bit of cabbage these days. She is an angel and we all fiercely adore her. I genuinely think that our family needs a cat. Teenagers need cats.

blueorblack · 01/08/2023 22:03

They are also arseholes but we love them for it.

My old girl likes me singing to her. She sits on my chest and puts her face up to me when I do. We were doing this at lunchtime today on my bed, back door was open. We heard the sound of my cats crunchy biscuits being eaten downstairs, a number of opportunist cats visit my garden. She looked at the bedroom door at the sound then just turned back to me, slow blinked and fluffed herself up.

TheOGCCL · 01/08/2023 22:09

Cats know they can get away with murder, literally.

One has recently just moved herself in with us.

Couldn’t imagine the world without them.

My favourite things: allogrooming and cats washing their faces.

JoanOgden · 01/08/2023 22:13

I have my cat lying on me right now and entirely agree.

Get yourself some more cats, OP! There are loads in rescue right now who need loving homes.
