Cats often get a bad rap as the “bad boys” of the pet world. Sure, they may be a little more aloof and independent than your average dog, but that doesn’t make them any less perfect to us cat lovers! My cats are my little fur babies and my life just wouldn’t be the same without them. We adopted Peanut and his brother, Jinxy, when they were kittens and I had no idea Peanut would grow up to be the funny clown he is. We found Lucky in the woods at my Mom’s house when she was an itty bitty kitten. She has always stayed itty bitty and is my little diva.
As humans we show our love for our cats in lots of ways like petting them, giving them the best cat food, buying them toys, etc., but cats also have their own unique ways of telling us that they love us right back!
5 Signs Your Cat Really Does Love You
Your cat….
…wants to be near you. This is especially the case when you have just opened a newspaper or book to read and your cat gets close by sitting right on top of it.
…wants to keep you humble. There’s nothing like the embarrassment of kitty dropping a little (or big) something smelly in the litter box the minute guests walk in the house.
..wants to give you gifts. Fresh-caught gifts are the best, i.e. mice and birds. But, returning things you thought you had lost like your hair ties are also popular cat gifts.
..wants you to relax. Your cat doesn’t want you to work too hard and will let you know by doing helpful things like laying on your computer keyboard when you’re trying to finish a big project.
..wants you to be on time. You don’t have to worry about oversleeping with the cat on duty. If breakfast is late, there is sure to be a meow or maybe even some chest pouncing to let you know it’s time to wake up and head to the kitchen.
Speaking of heading to the kitchen to feed the cat, I recently headed to Walmart and visited the cat food aisle.
While I was there, I picked up GOODLIFE™ cat food. The GOODLIFE™ food stood out from many of the other products on the shelf for several reasons, the first of which is that it has real chicken or salmon as the first ingredient. It also contains fruits and veggies! To add on to the GOOD part of the GOODLIFE™ brand name, it’s important to note what it does NOT have. GOODLIFE™ cat food has a recipe free of corn, soy and wheat. It also has no artificial flavors or preservatives.

Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
You have no idea how much I want a cat, but I am SUPER allergic, so the best I can do is be jealous of all you guys that get one. Sigh….
Kelly says
Robin, there are some breads of hypo-allergenic cats available.

You hit the nail on the head with your funny list. Cats are so like that. But, when you have a pet you really love, you put up with their behavior and feed them well.
Jessica (Savory Experiments) says
I’m so glad my kitty (Stu) loves me… in fact he is trying to get on my keyboard right now and keeps hitting the caps lock. Currently he is on a Rx diet- but I’ll be sure to try this out when he is off.
Meagan Ivie says
I grew up with a cat and loved it. Even though I didn’t think my cat really liked me back, after reading your tips, maybe she did 🙂
Liz Mays says
Cats certainly do keep it real, don’t they? I think they’re adorable and so silly and fun.
Melissa says
What a cutie! I miss my cat so much. I bet this is great food.
Jenni E. {Sweet Pennies from Heaven} says
I love cats, but am allergic. Ugh. I hate that cause I’d love to have an indoor cat. We do have some neighborhood cats that run around though. My niece does have 3 or 4 for their kids so I’ll have to mention this brand to her!
nicole dz says
My cat always find her way to climb on top of my laptop and lay right on the keyboard. She always also sits on my lap while im at my desk, every time I go to get on the computer she comes with me. Its really cute.

valmg @ Mom Knows It All says
My cat loves to walk around on my desk until he plops himself down right on top of my keyboard! I have been known to Instagram this.
Jenn @ The Rebel Chick says
Our kitty is just a baby. I look forward to all of these things (except maybe the stinky box, LOL).
Veronica says
cats get a bad rap for being emotionless and mean. I had cats growing up and they didn’t display affection at all…..maybe because I used to pull on their tails. Lol. I have seen cats now though that are a lot like dogs….loyal and loving
Tracey Tabone says
I don’t have a cat but my in-laws do and he is so sweet. Poor cats, they get a bad reputation!

Christie says
I love the humbling part!!! Great list 🙂
Cam | Bibs and Baubles says
What a beautiful cat! We’re dog people. Our dog is not a fan of cats. Though she used to be friends with one in the neighborhood. All other cats, she can not deal with. Odd.
Toni says
What a beautiful cat you have. That food sounds like it isa great brand to give to your fur baby.
Joanna Sormunen says
According to this my cats sure love me! And as an added bonus they want to make my life interesting and keep scaring me at midnight while I’m a sleep. Just so it wouldn’t get too boring for me, lol
Mommy2Jam says
AWE what a cute post. I had a cat when I was younger. If my boys were not allergic I would have gotten another one.
Amanda Her says
That’s such a cute kitty! My friend has one that looks really similar.
