I personally believe cats are born evil and slowly forget how to be evil until they die. When they hurting that's when they love you the most and that makes it so fucking hard to say goodbye :(
They always love you.. They just don't show it much, they're like kids from that point of view. But when they're dying they realise they don't have much time together, and they want to maximise it. They're like "thank you for everything, you're the best I love you and I want to stay with you until I'm dead"
I'm not crying....
My kids often don't listen, struggle with lying, have no regard for consent of others or personal property, and a host of other issues. Expressing love is not one of them. My kids (still young) show me they love me (and my wife) nearly continuously. The rest they're learning.
