I just wanted to say that my dear boy, Jackaby, passed away. He wasn’t all that affectionate but I know he loved me because he followed me everywhere and would sit on a stool and watch me cook in the kitchen, sit on his perch while I was on my computer, or generally chasing me and smacking my ankles without using his claws. He was a big ol fluffy and majestic boy. This was just an appreciation comment because this video reminded me of him. ❤️ thank you, Jackson.

Cats are our partner in some way, our family and therefore you want affection and that the animal likes/loves you.. I also some time think my cat don't show me affection but then i try to see the signs he shows me.. Blinking when I'm blinking. Smelling my hands when i have a snack and so on. My cat is very shy but he has come so long in just the year I've got him. He's just amazing and i love him so unconditionally because he makes my day brigther.. Whenever i come visit him on my bedroom (where he spends most of the time, because you know.. Chilling and shy..) he brighten ups the day, even if i have a bad day. And that is just something that is not always the case with other things you know. I'm so happy i decided to be a foster home and now a proud adopter of Raymond the very shy cat. ;)

Cats are not Dogs...they aren't going to invade your personal space 24/7, they are like teenagers that walk through the kitchen "love you Mom" and wanders off to do their own thing. Occasionally you get a hug... a longer "love you Mom" but like a teenager if you chase them for affection they draw farther away. Accept their simple, subtle I love you Mom for the kind, respectful, loving connection it is.

There's also the fact that Shisu goes to *Su's* room; he doesn't go to the kitchen, or the dining room, or the bathroom. He goes to Su's room, which, aside from exposing their belly, sitting in your room, on your bed, is pretty much the biggest "I love you" a cat can give; by sitting on your bed, a cat is melding their scent with yours, and basically saying "I love you, I feel safe with you, and I trust you."

@carlagraca6022 3 года назад

I think I understand where Su comes from. We see all these cat videos on youtube with cats hugging, licking, purring,etc. and because of that we have certain expectations. If our cat doesn't correspond to that expectations, we might begin to wonder if he loves us. My cat Neko is just like Su's, and I know he shows me his love in his own ways. We just need to set ourselves free of our expectations and then we will realize our cat loves us just as much as we love them.

I get affection-envy when I watch videos of feral cats turning into mush pots, jumping into their saviors laps, purring ferociously and crazy head butting. Whenever I tried to pet my 8-month black Boo, he would drop down rolly-poley, flippy-floppy, and stretchy--slinky--I thought it was a way of being out of reach and felt rejected, but when I saw this kitty do it and the explanation for it, I was so happy to see how wrong I was.

I saw him in the shelter, and they told me not to get him he's too dificult and will take years to trust or sit on your lap... it took about a week (he was a few months old back then) Now he's a big 4yr old (about 6kg and not fat just big/tall) beast and very affectionate, although there must've been some trauma in his past since he's very easily scared especialy with other humans (i'm actualy the one exception) at times he doesn't get the distance dynamic all that well though he just always wants to be close to me, near me or on top of me.... at this moment its 02.09 at night and he's sleeping on a catbed next to my desk while I'm working on something. Amazing little animal that changed my life for the better. (tl/dr I am realy fond of my cat)

@jirehjirehjirehjireh 3 года назад

Our idea of what “love” should look like is based on 1. the Hollywood exaggerated depiction of love. 2. Dogs What cats show as love is a lot closer to what a healthy human relationship should be like. Both partners having confidence in each other’s love through willingness to spend time together, but giving each other personal space and focusing on what they individually want to do and explore. A dog’s love is pure and honest, however the intensity at which a dog’s love is expressed is something most humans would probably find overbearing in a human/human relationship.

@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 3 года назад

My two kitties sometimes follow me into the bathroom, but never to sit on my lap. In my case, it may be mild separation anxiety, cuz they have panic bouts every so often if they wake up from a nap and can't see me or if I leave the room for a few minutes too long (my bathroom trips are usually short). For your cat, he's probably just got no boundaries with ya. Boundaries are hard to set with cats, so... good luck!

@mightymoose1158 3 года назад

That’s pretty big already. I turned our semi-feral cat into a love-bug. It took quite a bit of time but we are here now. It took her years to allow herself to be seen by company, let alone let them touch her. And now she’s better with it. She sticks around and lets the regulars pet her now. (I dont mean to be pedantic but here I go. Your cat sounds semi-feral too. A feral cat is almost impossible to tame, they wouldn’t have approached you. Semi-feral is still plenty wild though. I had to show her the free food cause she was rooting around in the kitchen garbage can.)

I’ve had that done to me before! Except, he liked to do it while laying down. He’d also kneed on my chest and if he accidentally hit skin and I winced, he’d pause, look at me, move a bit, and slowly start to kneed in a slightly different spot while watching my face. If he didn’t hit skin again, he’d relax and go back to kneeding at regular pace. He was very aware of if he hurt me or not! He wasn’t my cat and I didn’t live there, but I’d earned his trust so much and visited so often that he saw me as part of his family. I think out of the people that lived there, he only did that to one other person. He should be about 7 or 8 years old now and I miss him... His sister would jump on people’s chests while they stood and climb on their shoulders. But she and her kittens disappeared several years before I left. It sucks because it felt like I was the only person who severely missed her...

This is the video I needed. I adopted a stray recently, it hasn't been a month yet, and sometimes it is hard to see the good signs in front of you when you worry so much about the possible bad signs. My boy is skittish and fearful, and at first was spending a lot of alone time. And the cry meowing at the back door making me feel like he hates it here. But every morning he comes out to greet me, tail held high - always letting me pick him up and nuzzles into my face. And today gave me a lick on the nose. I try to recognize those instead of hyperfocusing on any slight inconvenience he has while acclimating (as I tend to make it worse from over babying). Su is an amazing cat mom, and I agree- you can see how much the two love one another!

My guy is a semi feral street rescue. Definitely not cuddly or affectionate. But he always comes to greet me when I come home. And he wants his belly rubbed at least once a day. He'll probably never be a cuddler, but he's usually very close by. I am the only person he will go near. He hides from everyone else. I know he trusts me...and loves me in his own way 😻

I have had my boy for about 2 years now. I rescued him when he was 3. He was described as aggressive, attacking other cats and dogs, didn’t like kids and was on the verge of almost being euthanized. At the rescue he played with me and was just the funniest cat, when we got home I noticed he was very shy, didn’t like to be picked up, was hesitant/scared and sometimes would bite/scratch. Now he is happily living with another senior cat I rescued, he is still very independent, doesn’t like human company that much, but will show me his love for me by sleeping by my feet or allowing some head scratches. I think we must remember that cats with a history of being feral or scared of humans takes time to build that trust. Give them time, give them love and lots of toys/spoilt items. They love on their own terms, they just want to know you accept that.

@irenem4578 3 года назад

I think it's about learning to read cats properly. You take them in and you watch them settle and relax and you start having rituals and habits together and after a while you know your cats have bonded with you. You know it if you can read them. They tell you quite clearly, by behaving in a certain way. Also, I have cats because I love them so much. It's important to me to have that love for animals in my life. I never asked myself whether they love me. Rather whether they are happy cats.

I enjoy hearing them purr in the mornings when I wake up and in the evenings as I fall asleep! I’m blessed.

At first, I thought we had a big problem.. 1 year later she has grown in to the best cat I could have hoped for. She will sit on my lap and crave being loved up for the first 15 minutes after I get home from work.. After that she plays with her toys and likes to surprise attack me . Love her so much! 🥰

It took 6 months for one of my kittens to seek out affection from me. She would always run from me and hiss since she was 5 weeks old. (Stray litter, moved the mother and kittens and began feeding them every day.) I just ignored her, and let her decide when she wanted to be near. Which was difficult because she would trill and meow all the time and it was unbearably cute. I got her used to being touched when she would eat, she was very reluctant at first and gradually accepted it during meals. Now, she is so affectionate as to greet me and follow me around with her brother. They even wait for me in the same spot. One day she just approached and made it clear she wanted to be pet. Probably one of my proudest moments.

Don't worry, my kitten is now 7 mos old, she is not so needy. My older cat has gone through hell, and has spent a lot of time by herself. She hasn't forgotten me. She has returned to her old self. The kitten needs you to play, make them feel safe, feed him/her, and show them love 24/7. Your kitten needs to bond with you and then you become their anchor for life. Pay attention to your 3 yr old when you can. She will adapt.

First off, it means a lot to me that you included a clip of two women sharing affection in your talk about love. It is a love that I relate to and brings me so much joy. Second, I have a really weird cat, and he’s so reclusive that it seems like he really doesn’t like humans. But he also seems really wise. At night, he can tell when it’s too late for me to still be up. Even if I’m downstairs, he comes and seeks me out, and he just waits, usually finding a place to nap in the room, until I go to bed. He never sleeps in my bed, but it’s still sweet that he makes sure that I do.

Cats also change as they age. I have one who is now 9 1/2 and a few months ago he started showing a lot of affection, allowed me to teach him to be held upside down baby style (he LOVES it!), sits next to my pillow instead of bouncing on my stomach (OOF!)...

My aunt's cats did the same thing! Once they hit ten years old or so, they were so willing to just be picked up by anyone and even flopped around on their backs like that and kissed. Until the arthritis finally got bad at 13ish. But it's like they were willing to speak our language more as we spoke their language more, you know? Moving onto the same behavioral wavelength the more time was shared.

@shroomyk 3 года назад

I remember in my teens it was a hard thing to accept that kitty will snuggle and then go off to do their own thing. It is sort of that way with teen relationships too; you feel bad when someone wants their own time. Then as you grow and mature, and as your relationships grow, you know that alone time isn't necessarily rejection. It is necessary for everyone to have time with those they love, and time with themselves. What another wonderful lesson cats have taught me in life!

I think cats all have their personalities... My furbaby can't get enough of me. When I return home, she greets me at the door - looking up to me as if to say, 'Where have you been, you've left me alone for days!!' 😢 If I'm on the computer, that's when she'll sit by my side, waiting. Waiting for petting (try typing one handed - useless!) OR after she has been petted, she sits and looks up at me, 'That's very nice, but I really want today is the brush.' After brushing, she hops on my lap for a siesta.🙃 When I sit in my plush chair to read a book, she jumps on the arm of the chair, makes herself cozy in my lap and after an appropriate interval of petting, she takes a nap. I'm inspired to do likewise, so it's all kinds of wonderful for both of us. Mind you, she does have her own time, taking a nap on my bed or the couch or a chair with a cushion.

@imwatching2320 Год назад

Sometimes it is the breed of cat. English short hairs love to be near you but don't want close contact, or a lot of touching - they choose when and how much. I have one we adopted. She is a beautyful torti but the only time she lets you pet her is when she knows she can get way. DOES NOT want to be picked up. We love her still. Her name is Fancy.

I think that a lot of people make the mistake of looking for how their cat feels in their entire face, rather than what are the most expressive parts of the cat: The eyes, ears, and tail. They can convey a LOT with those features, if one looks closely enough. One of my two cats often gives me "smile" eyes (Like how it's a little turned up along the bottom rim) and will push his head into the air when I talk to him in anticipation for pats/pets, and will rub himself against the nearest object with his tail up so far it curls around a little at the end. The other will start purring like a motor and trying to get close to my face, shifting positions and reaching out to me with his front paws when I go up and touch him and talk to him. It's a different method, but it's the same message: They love me.

Some cats are affectionate, some cats aren’t. I have one cat, that likes to hang out, but does not like to be handled. Once in a blue moon she likes to have her head scratched and her chin scratched, she’ll make it very clear what she wants. When she’s done, she just gets up and moves away or leaves. I consider her affectionate in her own way, because she enjoys being with me. I have yet to go to the bathroom alone without her.… including when I bathe. I have the other extreme, of a cat, who several times during the day insists upon coming over and licking my nose. He is extremely affectionate and shows it all the time. Rejection, for me is when they don’t want to even be around you. At dinner time no matter how hungry, it’ll wait until you move away from the food.

Oh, the twisting onto his back on the bed...my cat does that so much, the same face, down to the stretchy paws. I knew about the little slow blinks, how my girl follows me around, hangs in my general area, watches me, is very vocal, sometimes just sits right in my face when I'm at the desk, pressing for a few touches, play chase and hunt...I knew those were all good signs. But I never knew the twisty-belly could also be a sign, that makes so much sense and hits so hard. ADHD involves RSD and so it can sometimes be really hard to stop projecting bc of it. Seeing this reassurance helps a lot.

I kinda felt like I did something wrong even though I'm spoiling him like crazy haha but by now 2 years in, I realised that he doesn't have to live up to my standard of "cat" what so ever. He has his own personality and I love him for it. He shows a lot of love and affection on his way and I learned to love our unique relationship. He is my best friend I love his weirdness, he even started to cuddle with me during the nights. He shows his love his own way and it brings me the greatest joy in life. Furbabys are precious but they don't have to act a certain way. The best about them is their uniqueness and their personalities. I know Shisu loves Sue very much!

This is such a difficult thing to deal with as a human!! Jackson hit the nail on the head with his explanation. I became a cat mom for the first time on New Years Day and I had so much to learn about my sweet kitty, especially since my family only had dogs as pets growing up. They are so different in every way, and I think the biggest thing I struggled with was understanding the cat language of love. In fact, there are still times when I struggle with this concept. However, over time, I have learned to really appreciate and cherish those affectionate times with my baby. It is all in the special moments, like when she gives me nose boops in the morning or a really sweet kiss on the finger. It is her way of saying "You are my human. There are many like you, but you are mine."

My worst fear is that I'm failing this poor, probably abused cat as I see nothing indicating love or even connection. He has safety, warmth and love unconditionally.....And I simply have to have the faith that this is enough for this sweet boy.
