My cat used to try to defend me from neighbors I didn’t like. When they got out of their car, she’d get between me and the window and stare, hackles up, softly growling at them until they were inside the building, then she’d go to the door until they were in their apartment.

She also sat purring on my chest 90% of the time I was sick with covid. Whenever I got up for more than twenty minutes, she’d start yowling at me to lie down again and she’d only quiet down when she could curl up on my chest again(it was honestly not ideal to have that extra weight, but she’s only 4kg/9lbs).

She also only gets on my lap if I’m wearing thick pants or have something over me, because she doesn’t like hurting me while kneading, but can’t stop kneading and drooling when she’s in my lap ❤️(she’s insanely smart, it’s actually a problem sometimes).

I grew up with dogs and definitely used to think cats were always aloof, but they’re really different once you get to know them well
