Whether you're looking for the purrfect Instagram caption or just want something heartwarming to nod your head at, you're in the right place.
❤️ Why We’re So Obsessed With Cats (And It’s Totally Valid)
Before we get into the quotes, let’s quickly talk about why we humans lose our minds over cats. Spoiler: It’s not just the toe beans.
- Cats don’t fake it. If a cat likes you, you earned that love. And if they don’t? You’ll know. Loud and clear.
- They’re tiny therapists. Ever had your cat plop down next to you when you’re sad? It’s like they know.
- They’re elegant, soft, and dramatic AF. Honestly, cats should win Oscars.
FYI, science even backs us up—petting a cat lowers stress, boosts mood, and makes you feel loved. But we didn’t need science to tell us that. 😏
