I completley agree with everyone...Reilly is our furry 4 legged child. We call ourselves his mommy and daddy!

I can't even think of a way to express how much I love my cats. I can't imagine life with out them!!! To me they aren't just animals they are members of my family. I don't even think twice about going without something I want/need so they can have what ever they want. Some people think I'm crazy because I carry pictures of them in my wallet.

There are no words to describe how much you can love a cat. We look forward to coming home each day to our 2 beautiful and loving cats. We spend most of our waking hours talking to them or relating to them in some form or another. Then they sleep with us at night. My husband is totally smitten with Bijou but also with Mika.

They truly contribute to making our house a home and are definitely "family".

How much can I love my cats???
hmmm, since my love for them grows everyday, and since the love I have for those who have crossed Rainbow Bridge never dimishes, I guess I won't have the answer for awhile..

I totally agree with this. When those we love die, we don't stop loving them. Same with our furbabies. My soulmate cat, Max, passed to the Bridge in July. I feel like a piece of my soul is gone and a big old hole in my heart is there. Lord how I think about him and miss him every day. Do I wish I never had him because it hurts so bad now?? Absolutely not. I wouldn't trade the eleven and a half years with him for any dollar amount of money or nothing else money can buy.

So I don't have an answer either as to how much you can love a cat. But once you do, it never stops, not even when they die.

I've been with my boyfriend for 9 years... I've had my babies for 5 months. If my boyfriend wanted me to get rid of them, HE'D be the one packing his bags
Luckily he loves them just as much as I do. It's always so much fun to see the 'macho men' baby-talking the animals... he does it when he thinks I'm not within ear-shot, but I am!

To feel my little elderly cat Lucy curled up on me at night, purring in my ear after so nearly losing her to illness a couple of weeks ago


Our Christmas present money went to pay her vet bill so we have no pressies under the tree this year as to cap it all, I was working in a temporary job which should have ended yesterday. The firm ended my contract a week and a half early so I have no money coming in until I can get another job and that won't be until mid January and my husband is in a very poorly paid job


However, we are all still together and we hope we'll have Lucy for a long time yet. Every day with her is Christmas Day. I love her dearly and when I look into her eyes, I see pure love reflected back. I'd shift heaven and earth for her

I think of this thread everytime I have Cindy in my lap now.
One of the ways I often express this unquantifiable thing to her is "I love you whoooooooooooooole bunches!"

I love our "boys" so much...(even though they are pretty naughty sometimes)...that I have a hard time thinking about a time when they might be without me...or I without them. So I try not to think about which way it may be....it just hurts my heart too much.

I never knew I could love them as much as I do. I love them more and more each day; they truly are the best thing to ever happen to me.
I can't imagine life without them.

That's exactly how I feel about my Cupid! We just fit so perfectly together. I didn't realize how different he was until I was around other cats. I truly think we're soul-mates! (Not in the traditional sense, of course.) It really makes me angry when people don't get it, or mock my love for him. Like one time I told my friend that I go to this forum and she laughed and said "you have issues." Yeah, my issue is that I love my cat more than anything in the world.

This is such a beautiful thread. The love all of you have for your cats makes me smile and warms my heart.

It's hard to put into words how much I love mine. They bring so much joy to my life with their sweet purrsonalities and quirky behavior. This may sound silly, but sometimes I look at them and think, "I have everything."
