Granted, that love may be tied to the existence of food

I can confirm cats have emotions. Mostly annoyance, anger, and vengeance.

Sure, yeah totally..

Is this just not the most angry and avengeful boy you've ever seen?

People who say that cats are all crabby or indifferent simply don’t know how to cat properly

I had a cat who refused to leave my side for a week after I got my wisdom teeth out.

That is one happy cat! What's their name?

Oh my goodness that kitty looks so happy. They’re gazing at you with so much love. Please pet the kitty for me

Yes they do. And cats are way more loving than people give them credit for

I don't think feeding has much to do with it. My cat is obsessed with me and looks at me like this all the time, even though my wife feeds him. I don't think he even puts it together that he wouldn't be able to eat without someone feeding him.

food and the fact that humans have opposable thumbs which means we can not only open the food but also give good scritches.

My cat doesn't care about food that much, probably because she never new hunger. My other cat loves food, but in the morning she often comes to me to greet me and cuddle first (even though I'm not the one giving her food). Cats are full of love :)

Italian grandmothers agree with cats: food is love.
