Our cats are always there for us when we need them the most.
That's something that we have learned over time, as cat owners. We, greedy as we are, always want affection from our cats. We always want to cuddle our cats, always want to kiss their little foreheads and squish their fluffy cheeks. And we do, don't get us wrong. Our cats pay their rent by letting us love them. But it's not the same, obviously, as when a cat walks into your lap and offers their love.
Some cats are generous with their love. Velcro kitties are some of the rarest and most amazing things that you can have. Other cats… show affection a little more sparingly, but all of them, always, are there for you when you truly need them. Cats know when you are sad, cats know when you are sick, and that's true for all cats, not just yours. Cats can pick up on those signs of distress. Even stray kitties. The cat in this story proves it. This has been a cat that this woman had been feeding for a while, but she never came in, never made the choice to be adopted. Until she found her human crying on the pavement, knew that they needed her, and took the plunge.
