I love cateyes :) but mostly I love cats because they remind me so much of my best friend
my favorite thing about cats is their ability to put me to sleep just by sleeping near me. They emit some sort of odorless, tasteless gas that knocks me right out =^.^=
I love it when my cat will attack my feet under the covers when im trying to sleep. sooooo cute!
Cats seem to look beautiful no matter what they are doing. :)
because they’re adorable, duh! also one of the things i’m most appreciative about is the fact that when you come back from a looong day and just want to sleep, there’s no BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK *tackle* just a soft little prrrrrr and a kittycat.
also my cat poops in the garden [IN THE GARDEN, digging a little hole so I DON'T HAVE TO CLEAN UP, whoooo!] which is a winner.
and if we’re looking for slightly mean reason to love them… if they manage to get tape stuck on their side, its hilarious.
What I love about cats is that they purr. It’s so soft and serene compared to a bark. I also love them because they get into the most awkward positions and look so funny and cute.
What is your absolute favorite things about cats?
Well besides the obvious reasons of being cute and fluffy with sweet little paws.
I love that they are so full of personality, No one cat is the same, you can almost ready there mind by the expression in their eyes.
I love my two cats because they always make time to love me between playing and napping. My little grey cats are always there when I need them.
I love cats because they exude grace and poise but also love and comfort. It was obvious that they were once worshiped and they have not forgotten it!
I love my cat Kitty, I got her when I was seven and I am now twenty two years old. She has been like a sister growing up with me and I can hardly remember a time in my life without her. She’s still going strong today…whether she be ruling over the lesser species of canine in the household or curling up on my lap with a purr…she always makes me smile!
My favorite thing about cats is their intelligence and personality. I think my cat is far smarter than most people and he definitely has a distinct personality. I feel I can really connect with him and he understands me better than any human. I had to go away for college and couldn’t take him with me but every time I go home to visit my mom says it’s like my cat knows, he is restless and sits by the door and runs to me the instant I come through.
I love cats because they have sass. So much sass.
My favourite thing about cats is that they are irresistable. I am VERY allergic but every time I see a little kitty, I have to pick it up and cuddle it! I am unable to resist the temptation, despite the negative consequences.. that are totally worth it haha.
I love that cats do not need to be trained to live happily with a human. A dog you must train to not chew the furniture, don’t poop on the rug, don’t jump up on people. But cats have a maturity to them, they are much more civilized. They are so human-like, you must befriend a cat like you befriend a human. A dog you simply make your pet, a cat is a room mate. I adore cats, I have 7! The fewest amount I have ever had was 4 cats when i was born. I am truly a cat person, they are magnificent animals :)
I love cats! I have: One gemini kitty that is grey and white with half a white face and half a gray face, her name is Miss Kitten Little Tripper aka Twoface, a black “big kitten” taurus named Keebler Jr after his dear departed father Keebler Sr the black cat that moved in last year and got Twoface preggo then took off. Keebler Jr is my witch’s familiar and spiritual son (I had a dream of having sex with his father cat), one fluffly orange cat taurus named Phat Cat/Orangey, a black and white cat that squats our home, and lots of kittens we have given away! My favorite thing about them? their playfulness, zaniness and crazy antics. their unpredictability and loyalty. the way they communicate in meows, growls and eye movement. the way they follow me and my boyfriend to each others houses and all throughout town. the way they kill the cockroaches. the way they give you massages. the way they wake me up early. the love they give me. my least favorite thing about cats? the way they cry out in the middle of the night, knock down the xmas tree, shred up fake birds, and pounce/scratch my face in the morning.

PS: I don’t want to win this prize, I just wanted to share my thoughts. If I am somehow picked, please give it to the person next to me!
I love cats because of how haughty they are. It’s as if they are all apart of a supreme monarchy, haughty & waiting for their next tuna plate.
i LOBE cats because they have a wider range of emotion and my cats can always feel when im happy or upset and they react apropriately. most of all they are CUTECUTECUTE
I’m both a cat and a dog person, but right now, my kitten rules my heart. She’s just so much more graceful (and adorable!) than a dog could ever be. While dogs are loyal and playful and clumsily cute, cats are chic, elegant, and mysterious. So much cooler. They have softer fur, make prettier noises, and can take care of themselves if needed. Dogs are so dependent on you, it’s ridiculous. I have to say though, my absolute favorite things about my kitten are her quiet mews, and her leathery tongue(!). I know it’s weird, but I love it when she licks my fingers. It tickles!
Though I can not have a cat now as Mum is allergic, when we did have one I loved her. We were very attached and I treasured the companion I had in a time where I had no one else as a kid! Though things have changed now that I’m older (for the better :D) I still remember how my kitty used to curl up beside me and be my warm purring heater on cold winter nights. She’s with a good family now, but man I miss her loads. When i move into my own place (soon!) im going to get a cat as soon as I settle in (and a swiffer for when mum comes over!)
I love cats because they have been a part of my life since I was born (and even before).
When I was born, my parents had two cats, a couple; one was a true Queen Bee and the other was the cat-version of a street fighter. The last one would always come in my crib, curl up beside me and give me much needed warmth and love :)
Later on when the 2 of them were gone we had a third cat, which was batshit crazy. We tried to save her from herself, but she eventually succeeded in comitting suicide. That cat taught me the cycle of life.
The two cats we have right now, well… one is a round ball with pointy ears, independent and shallow and lover of screechy noise-making. The younger one we saved from a Québec Winter last year, because her mother had left her to die near a friend’s home. She’s a real ball of energy.
And that’s the main reason I love cats; because they’re not the same boring model all over again. You actually have to work for their love, make compromises, before you can set up a healthy relationship.
…dogs don’t just attach themselves to whomever throws food at them. Their love has to be earned, too, at least with some breeds.
I love cats because they’re always ready to cuddle. And the cat I have always comes to cheer me up when I havea bad day. :)
My favorite thing about cats is that they can sense when I’m not feeling well. Emotional or physical, they can always tell. When I’m sad my younger cat chirps (she sounds like a bird, not a cat) and runs up to me and makes me play with her. When I’m in pain from cramps my older cat curls up on my abdomen and the heat is like a living, breathing, furry hot water bottle. No matter what is going on in my life they cheer me up and make me feel better, and even when I can’t come home to a boyfriend I can come home to two cats that love me unconditionally.
And when it comes to cats, the fatter the better. I LOVE fat, fluffy cats. I love when they put all of their feet under their bodies and lie down and look like a loaf of bread (I call it Loaf of Cat). I love when they sit up and put their front paws on their bellies and look like little Buddhas. I love my older cat’s ear piercing (compliments of a cat he got into a brawl with). I just love cats, period.
Ahh! Kitties! I am definitely a cat person(and not just because I love the musical hehe). Cats are just so cute. They’re playful and furry and loyal and they can look so regal, like they are royalty, or they can look like they have the biggest attitude problem, which is really fun sometimes. ^_^
I love cats because they have such distinct personalities. I have two cats from the same litter, and they could not be more different. One is very attached to me and really affectionate, the other is very independent and loves to roam around on his own.
My absolute favotire thing about ctas? Well this says it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bmhjf0rKe8
I love that my fat white cat cries for me when I come home at night – I can hear her from the hallway outside my apartment!
My cats are so much better than dogs. They come when you call them (usually, lol), they love to sit in laps and give “kisses” (also known as head-butts), and my skinny orange stripey cat curls up in my lap and purrs for hours. The fat white one sleeps with me.
And as loving as they are, and as much as they want attention, they’re still independent enough that they can entertain themselves. Just like me! :)
I think I love cats because they get into the funniest situations. But the best thing is that every so often they’ll just stop and stare at *you*, as if to say “wtf r u doin!”
I love cats becuase they are smart and when you talk to them they know what you mean. They’re independent,elegant and goofy at the same time. They can sleep in the strangest places and positions and they can express a wide range of emotions. Plus, they’re so cute.
I love cats because they’re so easy to scare. You look at them and make a “PSS!” with your mouth, and they have a panic attack. I know it’s mean, so I always cuddle them afterward. (;
I love how my cats like to PRETEND they’re mature and elegant when really…they’re just dorks :)
I like how they have a love-hate relationship and are scared of each other hald the time, how they have to smell everything in every room all over the house even though they’ve been in there a million times, how they rub their heads all over my stuff, how they double as hats when I’m in bed at night and how I can “roll them like dough”, to quote my boyfriend.

that should have said ‘half the time,’ not ‘hald the time’
My favorite things about cats is how they instally make me feel better when they come up randomly snuggle up and purr it makes me feel loved. Also one specific thing i love about my cat is how he fetches and begs for food and my other cat just is fluffy and fat and cute and it makes me happy :)
I am 26 years old and since as far back as I remember have always loved cats. Up until 4th grade I used to actually think I was a cat because I loved them so much, having classmates nickname me tigerlily and catwoman haha.
I love how they act, how they look, especially the wild ones. My favorite was a cougar and the small ocelots that looked like tame housecats.
I used to do reports on them for school. I loved finding out how witches companions were the sly and intuitive black cats and how the Egyptians eventually came to worship them.
There is nothing not to like about cats. They are big, balls of fur that love to nap and play and curl up with you to make you feel better when you’ve had a bad day. My cat, Sushi, is pregnant and I just can’t wait to hear the meows of christmas kittens running around my house ^_^
I love cats because they and i are so similar. i never really knew why i have had such a passion in my heart for them until recently.
there is something about their eyes that attracts me so greatly to them. they hold such power and intelligence, and they’re such amazing animals.
They live life like how I would want to! Pampered, sleeping all day, playing with string… that’s the life for me :D
Oh, I know this one! My favorite thing about my cats (3 of ‘em) is…kitty biscuits! Oh yeah, if you’ve got a snuggle-kitty, you’re going to get some great kitty-biscuits every now and then. If you don’t know what kitty-biscuits are, well picture your grandma kneading dough to make homemade biscuits. Now watch your kitty knead your tummy or your pillow while purring and falling asleep…she’s making kitty biscuits! My smallest cat is a pro – she makes the biscuits on me every night when I go to bed. She purrs so loud and gets a glazed look in her eyes, fighting sleep to make just a few more belly-biscuits. The largest kitty is really great with hers too – if I catch her just right for a good tummy-rub, she’ll make “air biscuits” where she just kneads her paws into the air. Excellent!

Awww! We call those “Happy Feet” at my house.
*A note about kitty biscuits: I recommend a thick blanket or comforter for protection. There’s a price to pay for kitty biscuits – they downright hurt on bare skin!
I love my cat because he has some really funny habits. He has a favorite blanket that he loves to cuddle up to. He also has the bizarre tendency to suck on the tassels of the blanket.
i love cats because the are independent and dont ask for attencion all the time :P
I love cats because they know what they want. They set goals and stick to them, which is something that I wish I could do. :)
what isnt there to love?
theyre clean, smart, independent, and just all around awesome. Theyre sweet and loving and mine always help cheer me up when im having a bad day.
theyre my constant best friends.. i dunno what id do without them.
yay for kitties!
What is your absolute favorite things about cats??
I have a few favourite things i like about cats. They have great personalities, and they don’t need you always paying attention to them, most cats are more than happy going off into another room and being by themselves …actually as i’m typing this my cat just walked off to “her room” she has a little hiding hole that she curls up in haha ). I like waking up in the middle of the night to find my cat curled up beside me. Another one of my favourite things about cats is they sometimes bring you “presents” ( dead birds, mice, ect )haha…you might not always want them but their hearts are in the right place. =)
I love my cat <3

My most favourite thing about cats is actually their eyes, sooo beautiful! Of course, cuddling with them is a definately plus as well.
What I love about cats are their smarts and their looks. Cats have it all a winning individual personality and incredibly soft fur.
=^_^=
<3 cait
I like cats because they’re small, they keep their distance, and they have very diverse personalities.
I love cats because they can sit next to you on a couch at eye level, give you the most intent stare in the world, move their little shoulders like they’re ready to give the biggest meow ever, and then meow at you without making a sound.
I don’t know about all cats, but I do know why I love my Kitty! She was like a present sent to me by fate, I rescued her from an Ice cream shop parking lot and we haven’t been apart since! It’s like we are two parts of the same person. :)
I love cats because they are entertaining! I met a pair of kittens today that crawled all over the lap of a stranger. My cat thinks she’s a dog and tries to bark at the door to be let out. My boyfriend’s cats see ghosts and will spend hours watching the wall.
I love cats because I adore nerturing them and taking care of them. I have three cats and I call them my children and they all are very attached to me. I love how they all have their own special personality that makes them, them. I always like to say that I have a kitty for every occasion.
I’ve had many cats in my life so I know what I’m talking about.
Dogs are stupid and over happy. Cats have so much personality and different emotions. Many dog-lovers will boast that you can always see a dog’s feelings but you can also see a cat’s feelings. They are more human-like and subtle but when a cat loves you, it’s the YOU who get the best and most beautiful feeling of all!
They’re gorgeous right down to their motor-like purrs!
That they can be taught things faster than dogs!
Cats.are.the.best.
gorgeous, sensitive & yet completely arrogant; self contained but smoochy; soft and tough; hunters & killers but happy to be fed; they are my best friends because they love me & I love them – unconditionally!
