15 Signs your cat considers you its mother

#catsbreeds #cats #catlovers #catmother
Cats are an integral part of the family, and you might wonder whether your pets see you as their mom. It’s unlikely that cats see people in the same way they would their feline birth mom, but it is possible that your cat sees you as a surrogate, and much of cats’ behavior and affection toward humans indicates that they see us as part of their social group.

I was in grad school moving into new apartment. Girl who was moving out was abandoning her three year old Siamese. Cal and I bonded immediately. She slept in my arms with her head on my shoulder for the next 15 1/2 years. Lost her to kidney failure nearly thirty-five years ago. I have had several well loved cats since, but she was one of a kind and I miss her still. ❤❤❤

[@GothyLady]

We love them all, appreciating each one's unique characteristics & what she/he adds to our lives... but there is always one who, above the rest, bonds with & comforts us and seems to "feel" us better than anyone else - even our closest family and friends. I also had a wonderful cat like that (my sweet Frankie), who died almost 20 years ago. When they are gone, we grieve so hard and miss them so terribly... But we are very fortunate to have had them in our lives at all, and they leave us so many deep and beautiful memories to draw on when we want or need to.

[@contritisumus]

we are so sorry for the loss of Cal but it sounds like your life became Blessed by what someone so callously threw away - Bless You!

I also lost my sweet Siamese, Coco passed away about 35 yrs ago and still miss him so much truly one of a kind

[@deniser7573]

In February I adopted a female cat from a rescue organization. Since I’ll be 82 in a couple of months, I opted for an adult cat. It has taken all these months but she is finally doing some of the things in your post. She was on the street for her first five years and was taken to the shelter undernourished, pregnant and very ill. Although I bought her a number of toys she will chase them once and then give up. It’s so sad that she doesn’t know how to play. But she loves me to rub her belly, sleeps with me, constantly seeks attention (especially when I’m using my iPad), and head bumps me awake every morning. She does do something I’ve never come across with all the cats I’ve had. If I wiggle my fingers or say come here, she comes running to me! Our beginning was shaky but since she’s learned to trust me, we’ll be together for the duration!

[@vickiatabi4235]

I adopted an adult cat(convinced her to come into my house)after feeding her for weeks. Six hours later she had four kittens😹kept her/got her spayed/she slept with me❤️🌚🏜️🙀she didn't know how to play, either. She liked to be held, though❤️❤️❤️🌚🏜️♾️☑️

Good morning how you doin.

[@sgardner8737]

My cat, Kenzie, would watch me until I fell asleep rubbing her belly. But as soon as she knew I was asleep she would crawl under my bed for the night. The last few days of my dad’s life, I would cry myself to sleep and Kenzie would cuddle up to me and lick the tears from my face. The most empathetic cat I’ve ever known. I miss her so much.

Aww. 💕 sounds awesome. I have cats, and I work at a vet. Can I make a suggestion? try cutting back on dry cat food. it causes urinary blockage and kidney problems, over time, Consider upgrading to ‘Purina One’ cat food brand. Cats can live a long life! With a little prevention, and higher quality food. 🐈 If you have an older kitty, take her in for a full senior blood panel. it can detect any potential health issues, early. HAVE FUN 🐾. 🐱

[@annebartells777]

I adopted a kitty, or should I say she adopted me. She was a shelter kitty. When they brought her into the room so I could interact with her, she jumped into my lap and said "hi mom," " what took you so long to pick me up." " It's' time to go home." She lived slightly over 25 ❤years. She did every single item on your list several weeks after her adoption.. She would shatter at me, then I would shatter back. We would do this for about five minutes at a time. I had no idea what I was saying, but she did. I loved Tiger and miss her .She passed about 10 years ago

[@ib6029]

I love cats so much. Dogs have a blind obedience that is cute but you have to literally earn your cats trust and affection. I like dogs also but their love is automatic and free. Free stuff doesn’t usually carry the sense of accomplishment that things you’ve worked for carry.

I adopted my girl,Matilda, when she was 8 wks old. She and her siblings were found in a cardboard box that was sealed shut.The box was left sitting in the middle of the road. All 4 kitties were rescued. She follows me from the bedroom to the bathroom and the kitchen. I am physically disabled so she regularly comes to check on me. Out of all the cats I've had, she's the sweetest.💖🐈

I have a very vocal Siamese. He chats to me all the time. He greets me when he comes home and says good bye when he’s going out.

[@katherinecooper6159]

My cat was brought to me by another cat. She sat outside while he checked out the house not once but twice, after which she came into my bedroom and has never left despite the fact the door to the rest of the house is open. She sleeps next to my head, gives headbutts encouraging me to kiss her, and spends a lot of time on my lap. She sometimes let our other cats know this is her place. She is the only cat who ever told me her name, 💕

[@LivingDead53]

When I was a kid in the country, this feral cat checked out the house and then went to the garage where the other cats ate. Eventually, she had kittens and then left when she was done with them. Luckily we found homes for all of them minus the one I picked out. I was targeted by a cat. My other cat was crying by the door and scratching it in the middle of the night. Stupid person that I am, I opened the door, and she ran in, hissed at my cat, and then went to my bed and wouldn't let me get in that night.

[@Jerseybaby19]

My cat brought a cat home one day and she never left 😂

[@karabobara]

So sweet. What’s her name and how did she communicate it to you?

[@Ryan-gw3yv]

Probably through intuition. The third eye is the conscious connection in all creatures. One of the seven spirits of God in humanity. It takes time to get sometimes but if you are still and just imagine that you are them, you can ask "what are you thinking about?" And let it just come to you. It'll be very subtle at first. Or imagine a connection between you and the animal, one heart to heart but only with love.

[@Catmom2004]

Aww. That's so sweet! 💕 Give her a cuddle for me

[@robertwayne808]

My little gray one eyed cat Ginger looks me right in the eye when she’s on my lap and then proceeds to nip my nose very softly. And then at bedtime she follows me to the bedroom, jumps in bed and sleeps next to my head. She’s such a little angel.

[@drbluzer]

I have had two favorite cats in my life .The first cat I had was a calico cat that I named "FUZZY" . If I went outside and called "FUZZY ?" , I would hear this soft "meow" to tell me where she was . She died the same day as my dad . Sob ! My other cat was a Maine Coon male cat named "JERRY" that my wife and I got from our neighbor . Jerry was a big cat and weighed in at seventeen pounds .He wasn't fat , he was just a big cat ! Jerry was an outdoor cat that we'd let him come in sometimes . One day he pulled a "HOUDINI" on me . I was in the front yard with him and I called "Jerry" to which he started running up three or four houses ahead of me. I finally gave up and turned back to go into the house . He must have run up to the house and I never saw or felt him rub against me as I opened the door . When I walked towards the living room , there was Jerry sitting on the couch ! The little sneak ! I miss both of these cats !

[@carissamessina1908]

My Steve runs to the door when I come home. Ruby follows. I hated cats growing up. Thought they wouldn’t do those things like my dogs did growing up. Well they kinda do! My steve blinks at me all the time. When I blink back I say “I love you”. Ruby responds. Most of the time. 😂

My sister has a cat that brings her LIVE critters. He doesn't even injures them. He does this while she is asleep and puts them her bathroom. He has brought her a young rabbit, a rat, (that scared the heck out of her), birds and the latest a flying squirrel. She catches them and releases them back outside. I told her he is her pet and wants one of his own. His name is Trouble, I believe it suits him perfectly.

I don't walk around my house anymore, I shuffle so I don't step on her. When I sleep, she lays on my throat and snores very loudly. I think she might be part dog.

[@f.michaelbremer-cruz2708]

It seems our cats meet all 15 requirements, but I suppose that's not too surprising. I brought them home as part of an abandoned litter of four (4) day old kittens. My partner of half a year (now my beloved Hubby) and I had never raised kittens this young before. We learned how and delighted in watching them grow into the cats we share our home with today. They're now 11 and each moment with them is our reward for all of the hard work we put into raising them back then. :)

My cat actually knows that I'm allergic to mice (I will swell up, have extreme pain, and have even gotten hives before) so when she finds one in our farm house and Im in the same room she will grab the mouse and run off with it to a different room. She don't play with it in the room I'm in she waits till she's in a different room. She even guards the room im in a lot, keeping mice away from me. And people think you can't train cats lol.

I have a ragdoll called Hermione & she definitely imprinted on me the moment I went to pick her. That was how I knew she was the one, I could just tell that we were soulmates & I had to have her. She only sleeps in my bed, only gazes & slow blinks at me, will only deep sleep near me, she is always waiting by the door/window for me if I go out, always marking her scent on me. Only one of my previous cats was like that.
