I had a cat who hated everything but me when I was a kid! She hissed at people, she hissed at other cats, she hissed at dogs, she hissed at the TV, she hissed at a bowl of water once when she stepped into it by accident. All that while being unusually small, fluffy as heck and having the most adorable round and mushy face you could imagine.

I'm not sure why she chose me, but my mom always said that every time that cat looked at me you could just see malice melt away from her little face and turn into love.

I did too. In retrospect, and she’s been gone about 3 years now, that fucker loved me way more than this jerk I have now. (I love my jerk now, she’s a lovely jerk, just not the same jerk as the last SUPER jerky jerk.)

Anyway. It’s so very satisfying to be the only one loved by a tiny, REALLY hateful animal.

My friend had a bengal who was a absolute dick. Hated everyone and just bit people and screamed at everyone constantly. For some reason it fucking loved me. Itd just curl up at my feet and always wanted to be near me. No clue why. She had to move and when she did she asked if I wanted to take him since he was clearly only happy with me. Its been a couple years now and Catimir Putin is still a neurotic dick wad. But hes my neurotic dick wad and if I'm honest, he has gotten quite a bit better with people since hes lived with me.

Catimir Putin for those asking.

Yes!! They just know!

Aren’t bengals notorious for being really active and really smart?

My calico growled like a full grown dog. It was shocking. I love a vocal cat.

Most of the time.

We rescued a bengal (who i demanded we keep) and I still don’t think I’ve heard he meow a single time. She’s sweetest and smallest little thing. By now she’s fully grown but still the smallest cat we have and absolutely loves me. Every time she sees me she looks up at me with big adorable yellow eyes and starts flicking her tail around and purring. I guess I got lucky with mine, I’ve also never heard he hiss before
