I love my cat so much it hurts. Is this normal?

Just that really. This silly little floofball has utterly stolen my heart...(to the extent that DP sometimes looks at me with an expression of amusement and Hmm)

Here she is striking her "I'm dead scary, me" pose Grin

Tickle my tummy! I won't hurt you!

Longlost10 · 10/09/2016 21:00

normal for me, allsfair!

DesolateWaist · 10/09/2016 21:03

We do here. All we talk about it seems is how much we love here.
DH got up and she stole his seat. Now DH is sitting on another chair.

Normal, I hope!

FuzzyWizard · 10/09/2016 21:11

I hope it's normal. Mine has taken over my life completely in the space of 4 weeks.

Eyre89 · 10/09/2016 21:14

They get you right where they want you. Mine has my dp wrapped round her tufty furry paws. And ds adores her.

I love my boy too. I think its a unique gift that a cat has. They creep into your home, make a bed in your heart and purr their way into your soul.

Phew! Normal then.

Although I am aware of having PFC (replace born with cat) syndrome. She really does reduce me to a big melting puddle that she will lap up mercilessly Grin

Perfectly normal. My three are all curled up by the fire and i am having to restrain myself from fussing them. They're SO damn cute.

PosiePootlePerkins · 10/09/2016 22:11

Fuzzy snap! Adopted ours 4 weeks ago, seems like she's always been here. Even DH seems to quite like her and he claims to not be a cat personWink
She's not a natural lap cat but enjoys tummy and back strokes, and rubs around our feet in greeting, so I have hope! Either way she has completely stolen our heartsSmile

How do I post a pic? I love my little guy too!

Jellybean83 · 11/09/2016 01:10

I've only had my little guy for a week but I'm besotted already! He fell asleep like this and his lower body was spread across my legs, I was uncomfortable and needed a pee but I sat there until he woke.... Not done that since DS was a baby.

Not a cat person, sorry. Grin

But that's totally how I feel about my beagle.

My DH tells me to stop cooing at him all the time because the baby talk starts to hurt his (DH's) ears, haha. Can't stop, won't stop. He's just an angel without wings.

Toddlerteaplease · 11/09/2016 01:40

Totally normal. My PFC's are the best thing ever and I just want to squeeze them all the time and take them everywhere with me. Love them so much

allsfairinlove · 11/09/2016 01:50

Normal. They have some kind of power that makes us love them helplessly. (Half serious - I read somewhere that meowing imitates a human baby crying in order to trigger our evolutionary help/protect response).

FuzzyWizard · 11/09/2016 08:11

posie she is adorable! These cats are all so cute. This is my beautiful girl having a cuddle.

Fuzzy your beautiful cat matches your beautiful chair! Lovely colouring.

Icequeen01 · 11/09/2016 09:03

Definitely normal! One of the first things we do when we come home is check where our fur babies are and that they are ok. DS (16) who is a grumpy little git for the most part these days adores them. Here's a photo of Angus cuddled up with my son who is in his usual position of being in bed on his Xbox!
