Emotionally unavailable? I beg to differ. My current cat and his predecessors were/are the most loving creatures I’ve ever known. I had boyfriends who were far less caring.

Yep. Mine follow me from room to room and cuddle up to me. Even when they aren’t hungry!

LOL. We ALL had boyfriends who were a lot less caring. That’s why they are all named “Ex.”

I have a little black cat that puts her arm around her siblings when they are hurt or upset. She's done it several times

When her mother fell off the fence, hit her head and broke her tail, Blackie and her brother followed their mother under the bed trying to look at her face to see the hurt.

Depends on the cat I suppose. One of ours is way too clingy...just won’t ever leave us alone. Doesn’t match the aloof stereotype at all.

It's all in the upbringing! My cats over the years were all raised with plenty of attention, playing, and affection, and they turned out to be MUSHES who follow me around the house. One used to sit in the front window and wait about an hour for me to return! They all liked to cuddle--even in summer!

Cats can be incredibly affectionate and sweet.
