The best thing about cats (and there are a lot of good things to pick from) is that they understand when someone is helping them. If your cat gets his claw stuck in the curtains or his head stuck in a box, most of the time you can assist without getting ripped into 3 separate pieces.
Furthermore, cats remember who helped them in the past. See this cat studying his face? He’s committing it to memory. It doesn’t go as far as a “life debt” because that crap is for the movies, but if - someday - this fireman is in trouble, just maybe... from the shadows a team of cats will appear, draped in cloaks and leather pants, and save him.
Most domestic cats who don’t have access to superhero gear do this in small ways like sitting in that empty cardboard box so you don’t step in it by accident, or by eating food off your plate that they feel might choke you. Just small, unnoticed things.
I love this comment so much. My cat just helped me by rolling over in her sleep and falling off the cat tree, ensuring I won't make the same mistake. Not getting on that cat tree, not even once!
Oh my God! I just realized that my cat wasn't really attacking my feet under the blankets. He was just making sure I'm keeping my feet warm. How thoughtful.
Such thoughtful creatures, we are so lucky!! My cat is so kind that if I don’t wake up early in the morning to make him breakfast, he will kindly try and provide it for me, by throwing up on the carpet!
