25 Cats Showing a Sweet Side That Their Owners Get to See Every Day

Sure, sometimes cats can be grumpy and distant. They may even escape from their owners’ tight hugs. But you’re more likely to see them behaving in a way that busts those unfair myths that portray them as cold, independent, and reserved animals.

Bright Side aims to highlight that loving aspect of our kittens and has found lots of pictures of them posing for the camera, proving they’re completely in love with their owners and undeniably grateful for having a cozy, warm home.

3. Even this pretty lady’s tail aligns perfectly with the cushion.

4. “She saw me packing my army kit this morning. Every time she finds out that I’ll be leaving for a few weeks, this is how she sits with me until I leave.”
