My cat showed up at my door one cold night meowing like crazy. At first I didn't let him in but he kept meowing. Since it was late and so wet and cold, I thought I'd let him in to get out of the weather. He was scrawny so I fed him some tuna and water. I went to sleep on my recliner and he immediately landed on my chest and stayed their all night. I tried to find his people for a month by every way I knew how. No luck. So I decided to keep him, put him on a leash and took him for lots of walks. He walked both on and off the leash, next to my side for twelve years. He was my buddy in every way.

I saw a filthy stray that clearly needed help. The look of distrust in his eyes was heartbreaking but I persisted in feeding and talking to him. As it got closer to winter, I knew he might not make it. By this time, he was playing with me and I had earned some trust so I tucked him under my arm and took him indoors. Not sure he chose me as I had to work damn hard to earn his trust but now he waits outside for me to get home from work, rolls over for tummy rubs and has a deeply satisfying old man purr. 6 years later, I'm his favourite thing and I'm grateful to have met him.

"Cats are attracted to people who respect their boundaries" - And that is why if you have visitors they'll stick like glue to the one person that has cat allergies! xD

My rescue cat chose me. I saw his face, he looked at me and then walked over and sat in my lap. The adoption center said he'd never done that before.

In ancient Egypt cats were worshipped as gods - they've never forgotten it.

The two cats I've had both came to me and never left. The one cat I had that didn't chose me was a cat at a shelter that was handy caped. It was partially blind from someone spraying something in it's eyes and had deformed legs from being thrown, dropped, kicked or other. I asked about her and they said they were going to put her down because no one wanted her in that condition. I took her home and still have her after 14 years. She is a cute little sweet heart.

My cat loves me more than my parents. So yep I'm his favorite person. I use positive reinforcement every day. He's the best thing in my life.

Some of my cats have picked me and it's a gift when that happens. 🐾❤️

A dog says: My human loves me, feeds me, plays with me, and takes care of me. He must be a God.

Cats always come to me, the most allergic person in the room and this has been the case all these years. About 20 years ago, the same week that my grandmother died, a cat came to our patio one day and stayed there until she was allowed to move in. She had chosen us for herself and her 5 upcoming kittens who came a few months later. I ate antihistamines for all the 18 years she lived with us. She died suddenly in my arms of a major epileptic seizure similar to grand mal. She probably had a massive brain hemorrhage. Of course the cats choose their family, she chose us❣️

my family complains because until i come and join them in the living room, my cat will never come hang out with them (unless she feels like begging for food). she sticks to my side, if im sleeping, she's sleeping. if im in my room, she's playing in my room, if im in the bathroom, she sits next to me on the toilet or watches me shower. she likes everyone in my family but like im her mama, her human. we love each other so much.

I went to the cat shelter and this guy started meowing as soon as he saw me. I let him out of his cage and he licked my hand like a puppy. He’s been with me for 2 years.

My cat showed up when I started feeding a few strays. Although she wasn't my favorite at first, I soon realized she was perfect for me. We've been together ever since. 😼🙋🏼

I adopted my cat from the animal shelter when he was a kitten. The place was full and there were a lot of cats and kittens to choose from that day. I knew I found the right one when I picked him up and he just snuggled right up to me, there was an immediate bond and he still loves me the most.

I got Lucky, my current cat, soon after moving to where I currently live. She walked up to me in a parking lot of a restaurant next to a motel that had several long-term guests. Her action got quite a reaction from people congregating in front of their rooms. They said, "She *never* just walks up to people she doesn't know!" etc. etc. I was taken by her and found myself coming around to visit her. My previous cat had died from liver disease not quite a year earlier, and I was so distraught over it that for several months I couldn't even look at a cat food commercial on TV or hear anyone talking about cats. The odd thing was, I had only just the day before started coming around to the idea of getting another cat - and then my little black beauty just marched right up to me!
At the time I was living in a place that didn't allow pets, but I wanted to see her every day. I saw she was only being fed crappy dry food, so I picked up a case of quality wet food, and every night after I got off from work, I would stop by and play with her and feed her dinner. I asked the establishment's proprietor if anyone, including management (who was a family that lived on-site), "officially" owned her. When she said no, I took her to the vet and put a collar on her, right after putting down a deposit on pet-friendly lodgings and soon after took her home with me, gave her a flea bath, and we embarked on our new lives together. In October it will be four years. 😻

My cat, Princess, chose me. It took me a year to tame her enough to touch her. I had her for about 18 years. She never left my side. She had to be put down due to renal failure. I miss her everyday.

We have 13 cats (9 of them are rescues) (4 were born here)! My wife has been fostering, and rescuing for over 20 years!

[Jessikitty]

I tell mine every day that I’m glad she decided to stay with me. 7 months now since I opened the door and let her walk in and check out her new home if she wanted it.

My previous cat and my current cat definitely chose me, my late cat Phoebe was the neighbour's cat originally but went looking for a new family because there was no one home at her place much of the day and she was locked outside for up to 10 hours each day. My current boy O.J. was adopted from a shelter (he was definitely not happy to be there lol), the carer brought him out of the enclosure and after I gave him a scratch under the chin he jumped out of her arms and onto my shoulder as if to say "you're mine now human" lol.
