This is a “Does your cat like you quiz!” You can make of it what you want. It can’t be 100% guaranteed to tell you whether your cat likes you or not. All it can do is indicate that you’ve got a bond between yourself and your cat which in turn indicates that your cat …
Yes, domestic cats sense that there is something wrong with the relationship. I’m sure that there are many examples of a cat guardian falling out of love with their cat companion.

1. Mutuality Mutuality is the sharing of feelings and action in a relationship between two or more parties. Love between two people is based on mutuality. The first reason why your cat loves you is because you love your cat. It’s the same in the human-human relationship. I am one of those who believe that …
Reading the about the thoughts of this man I am led to believe that he is either mad or stupid (it’s the latter). Either way it is patently obvious that his black cat, Ringo, is very loving towards him. He does not deserve it. Perhaps the BBC who have published the story are cynically churning …

Like many domestic cats, this guy’s cat learned that when his alarm went off to wake him up, his cat would jump onto his chest and snuggle down. Cats get into a routine like that. In an act of generosity that reflects how an excellent human-to-cat relationship should be, the guy sets his alarm 30 …

I wonder how many cat owners have been through the experience described in the title. It must be very rare. And the person shouldn’t feel guilty. If anything he or she should feel blessed that their cat came to their room and died in their presence. It’s a sign of affection. Indeed of love. Shawn …
The question is, do cats take a fancy to each other just like people? I think the short answer is that they don’t although we would like to believe that they do. But the answer is not that simple. Love and lust I think you have to separate out what humans would call “lust” and …

Do cats know when you’re crying? Well we know that dogs know when you’re crying because of a recent study which I touch on below. We also know in an earlier study that cats can in time read our expressions. The question is do cats and dogs know that crying normally means that you’re distressed …
This cat photograph is straight out of one of the great romance movies. I am thinking of Brief Encounter. It is in the eye contact and placing the paw up to his face. I’ll guess and say he is the tabby siting on spikes which he ignores and she is the glamorous white cat looking …
Do cats follow their owners? Often, yes and particularly when there is a very close relationship between cat and owner and under certain circumstances such as at meal time.
It is an exceptionally sweet story. It must happen rarely perhaps but I have never heard of two cats at a shelter falling in love with each other at the shelter having never met before. This is what happened to Luna and Louie. I have been bold is using the word ‘love’ but I think …
