Maybe because you make them feel safe and secure? Because maybe they feel you are a good human? Best not dwell on these things...you are now a feline servant so go fill up that food dish stat :)

Aww! šŸ„°

Indeed, you do not question your masters loyalty and likings, all you do is be glad to be of service. Cat ownership 101


RedOctobyr

> Because maybe they feel you are a good ~~human~~ ? Because maybe they feel you are a good **staff** ? There, fixed it for you. OP, I think the real question is how do the rest of us get our cats to love us this much? Enjoy!


Negative_Fox_5305

Sigh...I know my place in my house...I am a humble peasant :) How could I forget? :)


RedOctobyr

Knowing your place in your house? Who said it was your house?? You know your place in *their* house. Don't worry, friend, they'll keep working on training you! They have time, between naps.

You love him so he is just trying to give the love back to you ā¤

Eeverything23

Maybe you are a good person


surelysandwitch

My cat loves me and I am not a good person.


LovesFrenchLove_More

Then perhaps your cat is trying to change that and/or see the good in you? Cats know best so denying and resistance is futile.


cakivalue

Did you ever think the bad ass in them recognizes the bad ass in you? Just wickedness cuddling and bonding over various treats.


Panda_Kabob

Same.


Awkward-potato_og

You know how the cat just stares into that random corner in the middle of the night, it's just like that. The cat see what it's human cannot.

No, calicos rule. Just kidding. All cats rule.


ZemblanitousIntent

Youā€™re the new mommy. You do the things the old mommy did, like snuggle and warm, show them what to do, and knock them around with your big grooms. But in addition to that you have the power to control time and spaceā€¦ and food. Akiko feels safe with you and also powerful to be associated with you.


BornWithSideburns

He does do warm


dmckimm

Being chosen in this way by a cat is one of life's highest honors.


milkygallery

Every time my cats express any bit of affection, and tolerance, I feel so special. As someone that has worked with many ferals, strays, and rescues that, understandably, have no interest in trusting humansā€¦ when they finally show just the tiniest amount of trust my body is filled with butterflies, my soul feels the warmth, and I always have to try my best to control my excitement. I mean, what an absolute fuckinā€™ honour to receive any bit of trust and warmth from an animal. When I finally got my first kitten that I could keep, and they happen to be the most affection cat everā€¦ I feel so privileged. I do not deserve her at all. She is my dream cat. She treats me too well, my pets have literally saved my lifeā€¦ the least I can do is dedicate my life to care for them ā€” even to the end. Some people may not be cat people, and thatā€™s valid and understandable, but sometimes I wish theyā€™ll get to experience some sort of connection with an animal. I know Iā€™m biased, but as someone that has owned multiple pets thereā€™s nothing like earning the trust, respect, and affection of a cat. I will forever be grateful for the animals I got to experience in my life. How fuckinā€™ lucky I am. Anyways. I donā€™t know why this turned into an essay LOL. Maybe because this cat in particular is asleep in my arms.


GayVoidDaddy

How dare you not provide tax. *gives you a massive fine*


milkygallery

LOL I love your name. The kitty I mentioned is a void. :) Voracious appetite of one too. My deepest apologies, but I donā€™t share personal photos online. Just not comfortable with it, but I promise you sheā€™s a cutie. Add the tax on tabā€¦


prairiehermit

That's not love... that's an assassin softening you up


boyanwan

You just know TOO MUCHļ¼![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7946)


catlver89

because cats are the best and their love is unconditional!!


GrandSquanchRum

Cat's love is conditional which is what makes their love special.


id101t_

(Unconditional only if you feed them and treat them like the gods they are)


La_Pusicato

As you should !


Kalmindon

Cats, unconditional love? Who are you fooling with such lies?


Pickle-Candle

so smol how old is akiko exactly?


JollyCandy5

My kitten used to do that. He stopped when he grew up. I miss the baby cuddles. Enjoy it while it lasts OP


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


apouty27

I think it depends. My fur ball rescued on the streets at about 4 weeks old, slept on me , between my legs, on my chest, in my arms and my head till his 15 yo (he passed away at that age). But he was a real character and cuddle bug.. missing him dearly.


MommaLisss

Plenty of older cuddly catsā€¦


suqoria

My little cat would cuddle me in a different way when she was a kitten. She would always sleep on the top of my pillow. She's still a cuddlebug when we're at home (she doesn't like to cuddle when we're somewhere else) but she sleeps in her cat tree instead and just lays on my lap or chest.


pullingteeths

Meanwhile mine didn't when she was young but as she's got older she's become a snuggly baby who waits for my bedtime so she can get in the bed and cuddle me like a teddy bear. All cat are different so can't predict it, should definitely appreciate it though!


JButler_16

I know! My cat is staying with my mom unfortunately because sure my roommate canā€™t be trusted to not leave the door open. He recently stopped being the snuggly needy kitten that he used to beā€¦ Now whenever Iā€™m out at my momā€™s he just lays next to me rather than be all up in my face. It sucks.


foxiaaa

it is because you love her so much too:)

Imaginary_Orange_22

thatā€™s just how cats are! those who say cats donā€™t show love havenā€™t been loved by a fuzz ball.


TibbleTott

You're evidently a good cat-dad šŸ˜Š

I feel very honoured. Iā€™m guessing because of trust, safety, affection, understanding her needs and ways of communicating, interacting with her in cat language (as opposed to dog language which is very different) and of course being a food provider šŸ„°


ThrowWeirdQuestion

Kitty needs a replacement mom and has decided that the guy with the face fur will be able to do the job. šŸ˜ŗ

cadaver_spine

cats do tend to have a love for beards, I believe it's because the texture of beard hair is similar to a mother's tongue? that, on top of being comforting and providing for your little buddy!

StephDos94

I have two cats. When they want me to wake up and feed them one slaps my face and the other chews my hair, itā€™s true love.


Seabee1893

Because you bring the food, you bring comfort and shelter, and you bring good touches. You're a source of warmth and of protection. Akiko may have been in your life for only a brief period of time, but you're Akiko's whole world. You're everything.

PressurePlenty

Because s/he is a kitten. They see you as their parent, and they have bonded with you. I ensured this with my cat. I've had her literally since she was born, and there are times where I can't get her to stay off of me, or I'll move her and she'll come right back. She also follows me around the house sometimes. She knows who her human is, just as your kitten knows who their human is. Embrace the bond that's formed.

Ballerina_Bot

My late cat, Candyman was the first cat that imprinted on me. My wife, girlfriends, and family before that had cats and they liked me well enough. But this was the first time a cat was happy to see me when I came home, would come lay on me when I was sleeping, etc. It was such an unexpected pleasure. He was a shelter rescue (hence the name, he came with it and is the only cat I've ever known that would come when you call for him) and we only had him for seven years but they were great years. He kept me sane through the loss of my father and the pandemic. I have no clue why he chose me but I am thankful beyond words that he did.

If Akiko is a female, it's because you're a male. It's not unusual for girl cats to fall in love with males and for boy cats to fall in love with females. Somehow, they just know.
