Every cat pawrent knows there’s something special about cats. It’s like an almost-inexplainable power our floofy family members have over amorphic concepts that, if you’re not a person who knows cats, you wouldn’t believe they can grasp. But they do. Cats are actually smart like that – they’re not only fluffy, extremely affectionate, and pawdorably cute – they’re also highly emotionally intelligent.
That’s exactly what this person here discovered about their cat. It’s not that he didn’t think his extra-fluffy feline friend wasn’t smart – but he had just discovered how emotionally intelligent he actually is. You see, this person’s father is 94 (which is a big wow in and of itself!), and came to visit him for a few days. It’s already not a small feat for such an elderly person, but he still made the effort. And since he arrived, the cat wouldn’t leave his side – even sleeping with him in the same bed every night, keeping the old man company, like a fluffy feline guardian.
This cat dad documented the bond between his cat and his father, and it’s nothing short of wholesome. And this sheer wholesomeness didn’t pass by the online feline family, who rejoiced in this adorable bond, and shared their own stories of smart cats being emotionally supportive of people when they need them the most.
