How does your cat say, "I Love You."

There was a recent thread about what we do to show how much we love our kitties. I was thinking this; what are the special ways your kitties show how much they love you? Each of mine is different that way.
Marcellus, loves to come and rub and rub my face, pushing his nose into my eyes and cheeks. Sometimes he gets carried away though and bites so I have to watch it. And when he wants a little kiss on the bridge of his nose or his forehead, he lifts his head up, opens his mouth part way, showing his teeth. It's so cute.
Wallace gives me an extra special look that really seems to say, I love you. He does this when I talk to him sweetly, his look is so special.
Lewis, still a kitten, comes up for the pets and cuddles. He's my only lap kitty and I love it. Maybe they're just marking me and seeking warmth, they are cats.... but I think they love me, really.

Doobie is a lap cat and she'll softly head butt me and she'll knead my lap and start suckling on my arm! She only does this to me so i feel quite special!

I would say when Sash lays on my lap and is purring away and kneads me

or when he gets cradled in my arm in the bed and lays his little head on my shoulder and falls asleep in my arm.

I feel so loved by my boy then.

Malakai's loving moments are few and far in between... and even when they do occur they are very short-lived... I guess when he jumps up on the desk while I'm at the computer and head-butts me or licks my face (which quickly turns into biting my nose)... or when he lays with me when I'm asleep (which also turns into biting me)... LoL Adrian said it best "You feed him... he has to love you..."

Well, all four do the head butts, kneading and "grab mommy's legs" whenever possible! They're also very jealous of each other and poor Jello. They get depressed when I am gone for more than a day or wait anxiously by my bedroom door or bathroom door for me to come out.

Headbutts, purrs, and little wet noses on my face are both my babies way of showing me

I'd have to say my three show thier love mostly with headbutts!

socks jumps on my lap, and starts sucking on my clothes, i love it when he does this, he doesnt do it to anyone else

This is what my baby does too.

mine licks my face and purrs and purrs and lays down all over us
We had visitors over last night and they all said aww look he knows his mommy!

Indie shows love on his terms, usually it's a silent mew to be picked up and cuddled, then he licks my nose and rubs his head on me with deep purrs...Alan gets more love from him though.

With Minx, she headbutts, rubs her head and purrs, and then her body twists and turns at all different angels while she's rubbing her head against me, she goes really really soppy then which is adorable, she also paws my face and kinda drags it towards her so our faces are next to one another,all the while making little cute noises, makes me melt just thinking of it.

by not attacking me quite so frequently as she does the other members of this household!

only joking- wet nose and snuffley purrs. she also follows me around likes she's expecting me to break into song and dance!

And do you?

Muddy has his "love me" moments: he follows me around and weaves around my legs if I try to walk away from him. I'll stop, and he will stand on his hind legs and reach his paws up on my thighs and meowls at me. If I don't pick him up and fling him over my shoulder for a snuggle, he will simply jump up in the air and expect me to catch him. I've only missed the catch once. If I try to put him down before he is ready, we just repeat the scene until he is thru loving on me for that time. This happens a couple times a day.

Scarlett absolutely LOVES my husband. She snuggles on his chest, gets all 4 paws kneeding, purrs so loud you can hear her in the next county, and simply smiles when he loves her back. She does the same to me on a lesser degree each night when I crawl into bed but will lay next to my head on the pillow.

Eightball appears anytime my lap is available - all day and all night long. He is terrified of everyone but me and my husband but he sure needs his snuggle time with mama.

Nighttime is snuggle with mom and pop time for most of the cats, but in the morning, I always wake up to Stumpy, Pinky, Tigger and Spanky (my 4 largest boys weighing in from 14 - 18 pounds) snuggled all around me or on top of me. On the rare time that I wake up and not find them in bed with me, I just call the name of the missing one and they will come running. They have figured out that if they try to sleep on my stomach at that time of day, I always get out of bed and leave them for the fun room down the hall. They prefer to snuggle at my side or on my legs in the morning.

Oscar hops in my lap and simply mashes his face against mine over and over and over again. I head butt him back and he loves it.

Dakota and Sage will hop up next to me on the sofa and fling themselves on their backs for belly rubs. Dakota gets so relaxed that if I don't notice, he'll roll himself off the sofa and hit the floor. Spike (the 80 pound dog) also does this. Dakota was on top of Spike the other night on the sofa and they both rolled off and hit the floor. No big deal - they just hopped back on the sofa and resumed their position next to mom.

Lily wouldn't DARE deign herself to "love" anyone openly. If she allows me to pet her, we are having a great day.

Blondie and Autumn both love to shove their tails in our faces and shake them. They also come and lie down on their favorite person's chest when they are relaxing. Autumn does with me, and Blondie does with my mother.

i am not ashamed to admit that i have been known to sing to my cat!

she a captive audience and hasnt shown any signs of neurological damage yet

Well Gandalf is my lap boy and will only cuddle with me, he's not really into cuddling with anyone else. He doesn't purr but he has this cute little grunt that he lets out when he's happy.

Samwise on the other hand will curl up with me at night and start purring loudly, he also likes to be held close to my chest and be petted makes his little motor run.

Let's see - headbutts, rubbing against my legs or arm, playing "fur collar", licking my ears, patting my face, asking for a belly rub, and sleeping on top of me.
