      I’ve had a number of kitties that bring me bugs & mice. My dog brought me two birds. Oops! Almost forgot-dog also brought me a dead squirrel. I asked him to take it back outside, and thankfully, he did. Apparently, he buried it, because he dug it up 10 days later, and brought the post-burial squirrel back in the house! Yikes! It immediately went in the outside trash bin. To make up for his loss, he got chicken for dinner.
      I don’t know if it’s totally to show love, I figured they were bringing me “food” because they figure I can’t take care of myself. 😄
      My boys show me all seven signs. I’m very blessed!

    One of my cats was found in a ditch. He’d been hit by a car and was bleeding from his nose and had a pretty good gash on it. He was just a kitten. All black cat. He was brought into my work by a Good Samaritan when I worked as a Vet Assistant and I fell in love with him. The doctor said he wasn’t going to make it due to internal trauma. I paid for all his vet bills and took him home to “foster”… 4 years later and he’s currently cuddled up on my lap purring. He is my boy!!! My other kitty was found in a car engine and the lady brought him to my NEW work and I said I’d take him cause no one else could and she was going to let him go in the parking lot. He was shivering because it was winter and he was just trying to stay warm. They display a lot of these behaviors with me and I know they know I saved them. I was always more of a dog person, but these 2 have stolen my heart. ❤️🐈‍⬛🐈

    The saying about cats choosing you is definitely true.
    Never will forget the day when on our neighborhood walk and encountering a little tortie kitten who not only followed us all the way home, but boldly right behind us into the house. I put her back outside with a bowl of food but when I opened the door to see what she was up to, she walked right back in again then proceeded to jump up on the couch and rolled on her back as if to say "I'm here to stay. Now give me attention." I didn't have the heart to put her back out again, now three years later that little lovebug is still showing her strong willed affection having manipulated herself into the family.

    My Cat is 19 years old, I've had her since I was a child. She still does all of these things, apart from bringing me presents because we haven't allowed her out for years now(too many foxes about). I remember when I was a kid we would often get woken up by a flapping, squawking maimed bird under the bed that she was "playing" with, looking up at us so proud as if to say "look what I've brought for you human". Today we took her to the vet, she's VERY old and immobile and showing all of the signs of an aged cat in their last chapter. They kept her in to drain fluid from her lungs and I'm hoping she makes it home if only for another day. I'm going to miss her waiting by the door when I come home from work, and hobbling over to me when I come down the stairs(she can't climb them anymore). Laying down with her on the floor and massaging her ears for hours while she purrs like a tractor. It hurts to see her in such a state, seeing her nervous about whats happening to her. I'm praying for just another minute with her. Also praying for myself because it's going to destroy me when she lets go. I hope she knows how much I love her.

    I don't own a cat but my neighbor has one. His cat always came at our doorstep for some reason. I thought it was because he was hungry, but he refused any food I tried to give him. Until I realized that he just really loved me. Everytime he would come, he would immediately start rubbing his head and tail over my legs. He often showed me his belly too. I realized, this cat wasn't hungry or thirsty, he just needed the love he couldn't get from my neighbor... Now, it's been over a decade since he started stoping at our doorstep every week, and sometimes, everyday. It breaks my heart to think someone could just let their cat outside without loving him and just feed him...

    My favorite thing that one of my cats did was sitting in my upstairs bedroom window looking out many nights as I returned home from work. Once I pulled into the driveway and got out of the car and approached the front door, I'd look up and call his name and he would meow back at me, then all of a sudden he would jump down and bolt downstairs and would meet me at the door as I entered. It's as if he was waiting for me. I think he was as happy to see me as I was to see him. He was such a great cat and passed way last summer one week shy of the six year anniversary date of when he was adopted. He was always seemed extremely grateful that he was rescued.

    1) high-pitched noises
    2) temporary linguistic regression. “Who’s a snuggle-wuggle?” etc
    3) humiliating nicknames
    4) photographs
    5) dress-ups
    6) gifts involving balls or squeaking things
    7) PDAs with lips, etc

      They don't find it bewildering. They love it!
      Cats, especially kittens, enjoy and benefit from loving personal attention. Like the State of California public service announcement about what to do to help your infant and young tot develop mentally and emotionally says: "Talk, read, sing. It changes everything!"
      Cats and dogs learn and develop when you talk with and to them instead of at them. As with a human baby or tot, try to figure out what the kitty is saying when it vocalizes (makes sounds in response to what you say) and then respond back with what you would say to a baby/tot. You can explain simple things to them, talk about feelings like love, what it means to be good, etc
      They will learn and will appreciate you for your love, attention, and good parenting.🐈💕💞😉

    Next stage is the vets for a check up. I just have to hide him as I don’t think our landlord allows pets. He’s very well behaved, he’s not spraying anywhere, he’s been done. He’s very loving! So happy I can give him a happy home. He follows me everywhere. I suffer with a chronic condition with my bladder, when I flare up he lays on me or watches me in the bath!

    When our last cat was poorly I said to Paul our vet "I’m sure he knows we’re doing our best for him." To which Paul replied "I’ve no doubt and he loves you for it." I was a little taken aback that a vet thought cats have emotions, being a person of science and all that. However, Paul is an animal lover first and business man second. You’re the second vet I’ve now heard discussing cats loving their owners.

      Cats do exhibit emotions but it isn't the full range of what an adult human experiences, their level of understanding emotionally is approximately equivalent to a toddler, so whilst they usually won't experience more complex emotions such as pride, contempt, guilt and shame they can experience love, fear, anger and disgust as an example.

    Pooh was the light of our life (my husband and me). I used to crack his tail, and he loved it. I always wanted a tail and I meditated on how it would feel. I figured that any animal with a tail would have to live with compressed vertebrae because of gravity and their inability to stretch their tail. Cats love to stretch, so I figured out how to alleviate Pooh’s problem. He would stand in front of me, I would place my left hand on his back in front of the base of his tail, he would raise his tail straight up, I’d get ahold of the tip with my thumb and first two fingers, and then I’d pull his tail up, gently, until I heard the vertebrae crack. It got so that I could catch his eye from across a room and say “Gimme that tail,” and he would saunter over to where I was sitting and assume the position in front of me, with his tail straight up and waiting. Yeah, he loved it.
    Another thing about Pooh: When it was time for him to die, he didn’t hide somewhere. He found a comfy spot on the carpet in the living room between me and my husband. We talked to him, made sure he was comfy, and that’s where he died. His little head left a profile impression in the carpet; I didn’t vacuum that spot for months. I’d lay down next to it and try to smell him. That was 20 years ago. My husband died three months later; their ashes share an urn.

      Hollis, this was an extremely interesting and compelling comment. Fascinating that you've visualized having a tail so much and were seemingly able to empathize with your cat enough to "crack his back" in that way. Though I wouldn't recommend that someone else does this if they aren't sure their cat will be okay with it, I also sometimes lift my cats up by the tails a little bit while petting them (lifting from the base), and they seem to like it. The trick is knowing your cat. Thanks, also, for sharing the story of Pooh's death and the fact that your husband died so shortly thereafter. I can't imagine how that felt. Hope you're doing well now.

    I am still unsure about if my cat is happy around my space, and I hope he’ll eat soon from being in the shelter for awhile, but I am glad my new friend likes me enough to let me take him home.

    We had a cat who was in absolute heaven when getting his belly rubbed. His eyes would light up and shine just like a person looking at their beloved when that belly was getting petted. Sometimes during a long belly rub, he would stretch and I would lightly grab his rib cage. Then he would fall asleep while still being belly rubbed/petted. He loved it so much that when he was let out of the basement to start the day, he would follow family members around and flop on his back and lift his front legs, and exposing his belly, as if to say "There it is, get to it." He would not start a day without getting his belly petted. I still miss that little guy all these years later. We had a lot of good pets, but Greycat aka Mr. Grey was the best.

    My hubby rescued our last cat from a drugs den when she was still a kitten. He was walking past the house & one of the junkies came to the front door with the kitten and booted her off the step! Hubby walked up the path, picked her up and calmly walked away with her. Brought her home, called the RSPCA & police about the junkies. We had her for 22 years. She did all of these things, she loved baths, cuddling under the quilt when it was cold and walking to the corner shop with me. When she died, we got a rescue kitten who is now 5yrs old, totally different, very timid and has to be with either me or hubby all the time even in the bathroom 😂❤.

    When I was young we had a delightful calico called Sheba. She would come and stay next to me in bed, whether I wanted her or not! Extremely affectionate and vocal; loved to lie on her back in your lap too. Strangest thing is, after she passed away, I kept feeling the bed move as if she had jumped up. When I looked, there was no cat there. I think Sheba liked me so much she still came to visit me from the afterlife!

I used to describe us as "roommates who have nothing to do with each other" 😂 Still seeing whether we've graduated to friends.

He’s gained over half a kilo since coming to us despite having chronic kidney failure (I think it’s called in English) and he does almost all of these 7 things now! He will even plop down in front of our feet and let us rub his belly! So so happy to hear he does all these things because he’s happy here with us after the horrible life he endured after being abandoned before. We feel so very lucky to have him and he is the best thing that ever happened to our three autistic children who love him so very much.

He seems to love it when I give him kisses on his belly and cheeks, he’d fall asleep soon after. We also have 5 stray cats that eat at our house daily, 3 of them are kittens. One of the kittens, a calico, used to be afraid of human contact, but they’ve been hanging out in our yard for months now. idk what happen but the calico suddenly would follow me around, very talkative, sometimes she’d sit by my side politely and quietly hanging her head as if she was waiting for me to pet her head. Ofc I’d pet her, then she’d always give me this relaxed expression and squinting her eyes asking for more. Her siblings love attention too, they’re all so polite except the cheeky boy, he’d jump on my back whenever I hunch to give them food. I’m just ugh, my heart can’t take it, cats are too cute😭💜

He showed his affection in a human way... when he walked into the room and saw me sitting in the recliner, he would run over, jump up, standing in my lap, throw his arms around my neck, and give me a full face kiss right on the mouth. Then he jumped down and sauntered away like nothing had happened.

She's now an indoor cat, she won't go near the door when it's open she has no desire to go back outside. She's fixed now & she had food & skin allergies we're taking care of with a special diet. She follows my daughter around constantly and demands love from her first thing every morning when she wakes up, she's gotta get her "lap time," purring and making biscuits and rubbing on my daughter. And every night when I go on my chair and use my computer she lays on me and naps. When I pet her she presses her head into her hand and her tail curls around my arm and swishes lazily. She spends half her days laying on one of us, lol. She's so happy and relaxed, so sweet and gentle, I guess this means she loves us.

She had a lovely shaved tummy and it felt like velvet and I couldn’t help but gently stroke it all the time she liked it then and loves it still to this day and she’s seven years old now. She also has her own bed in my bed next to my pillow with her teddy bear 🧸 that she’s had since I adopted her that she licks and suckles on to go to sleep with her own blanket that she gets under in winter. She cry’s until I put my hand into her bed and gives me her hands/ paws to hold while she suckles away making biscuits in my hand. We’re both in love with each other. Such a beautiful little girl.

    My little boy passed away on the 11th. I’ve found a lot of comfort watching these videos. It’s so good to know he cared about me just as much as i did him.

    My female cat washes me a lot, my tomcat does all the things you mention. Both are chatter-boxes, they will come in from their gardenwalks and tell me all about it.🐱🐈😘

    My cat did all these things! He would also want to snuggle with me and would run to the door to greet my when I came home.

    My cats don't bring me presents, but one of them taps on my arm when I'm at the computer and then jumps up in my lap. Both cats come into the kitchen and rubs on our legs. We love our little furry friends.

    A cat the family had 50 years ago must have really loved our neighbor since he left a mouse or two on their porch every evening.

    Great video thanks!
    My cat (actually I'm more like his human) does all these and more.
    You left out licking you. Licking your hands, your fingers, your nose, your mouth, your feet.
    You also left out jumping on your chest and sitting on you.
    And of course there is curling up close and tight next to you in bed !!!

    We have 3 cats. Two in our world, and one in the spirit world. We lost our beautiful Callie (Calico) a week ago to kidney failure. She was only 5 years old.😭 All of our furry kids would display all seven signs of affection towards my Wife and I. Callie would also make a beautiful trilling sound whenever she was excited...."treats" lol. We both really miss our Callie Girl and her trilling!
    RIP our beautiful Callie ❤️

    Between my two furbabies, I get all seven of these. Though as they are indoor cats, the "presents" one keeps leaving on my bed are her two favorite toys.

  • @ehuudritzelaar5535

    I buy everything except # 1 - but with the caveat that every shelter that I have ever adopted from has made me promise that the adopted cat would NEVER be allowed to go outside. Therefore, my cats have had no opportunity to find me any "gifts." However, indoor cats don't get hit by cars, attacked by coyotes, or suffer from worms, fleas, ticks, lice, or ear mites, and on average live much longer than cats that are allowed to roam outdoors. And since my current cat was found starving to death on the street while trying to nurse a pair of kittens, she doesn't miss the outside world AT ALL - she has NEVER even tried to explore the outside world, even if we leave the door open while bringing groceries into the house. YMMV!
