My cat Marty followed me everywhere. He was a sick little cream and honey tabby that I rescued and nursed from the age of 6 weeks. My family called him ” my shadow”. He waited in the window, then rushed to be cuddled as soon as I got home. He would tap me on the shoulder to come sit with him if I was working on the computer. He wanted to cuddle and be kissed and hugged 24/7. He slept on top of me every night for almost 18 years. He would gently paw at the covers if my arm was under them, so I would take it out and hold him. A few weeks before he died…he placed his paw gently on my cheek and gazed into my eyes as if to say he was sorry to be leaving me. He had been sick for months, in and out of the hospital. His companion cat, Judy, who has lived with us for 16 years, never does any of this and they both had food available at all times.
Love is love, and some animals, like some people can show it better than others. I hope you all find this kind of love at least once in your life.

So true. Such as today, I think my cat realized that I would be going back to my dorm, as whenever I would wake up, I would see he was lying on me, as if saying, “No, you are not going anywhere. I want you here!” Since I have gone to college and spend my weeks in the dorm, I have noticed my cat lying on me as much as possible when I would get home. Cats my be independent, but they can come to love us!
