Anyone who thinks cats can't be loving are really missing out. Their affection isn't as in your face like dogs but they certainly can show love, trust and companionship to their owners. I've felt more of a connection and bond with the cats I have had than any dogs I have had, yet I have loved them all the same. My cats have as much oomph and personality to them than any dog I've met, sometimes even more. I think cats are very misunderstood. Their little ways can take a while to get used to but they are worth getting to know.
