cats

This only happens if the cat owner bothers making a connection with their cat. If all the owner does is feed the cat, the cat is only going to care about the food you give.

I've lived with many cats before. One of the cats I had was a street rescue. When she was pregnant she chose my bed to give birth in, probably because I rescued her and she felt safe with me.

Cats are so community-oriented. My late cat used to sit in the hallway and cry until everyone came together in one room, then she would finally go to sleep. Cats might not be as up-front about their affections, but they are absolutely looking out for you.

I don’t even care if this is true, I just fucking love cats.

When my first child was born, we only had one cat. He was very attentive during pregnancy then left a dead mouse as a gift right by the crib. He was a mouser when he was young, but hadn't hunted in a few years, so it was obvious that he understood there was a new "kitten" to take care of.

When he was gone and we had one of the cats we have now, I had my second child. Now this cat had never hunted so much ad a spider, but she caught her only prey to date, another mouse, and left it beside a gift bag of baby stuff I had from work.

I could have definitely done without dead mice, but I was pretty touched that they understood and wanted to do something "nice" for the babies.

"So I built her a birthing nest and kept showing it to her and then she didn't even use it! Can you fucking believe it!!"

Honestly though, very sweet.

The kitty is going to be so disappointed though when her human doesn't give birth in the nest she built with great effort...

I want to see the nest you're obviously going to give birth in!!

Some wholesome internet right here

we have a special relationship with cats. we feed and house them, and in return they act as a constant reminder of what we should be. suck it, dogs :P
