As I have been experiencing 2 new cats in my life and taking in the advice of many here on this site to help me assess accurately their behavior, I came to wonder whether our pets feel the emotion of “love.” I’m learning about my new friends.
I thought about my old pets who passed away, and I really believed in my heart that Princess Big Mama Panda loved me. This cat’s trust and faith in me and my spouse was total, or at least, it seemed that way, all the way to the end. I miss my friend. I cried the day she was euthanized, and I’m sad now writing this. Maybe all this emotion is just me reflecting this “love” and not my departed cat at all. Maybe she was only in it for food, warmth and safety for her time here. Any case, this cat certainly brightened my life for the time that I had her. I wonder, do cats love?
