1. For some reason, cats know when we need them.
When we feel distressed or sad, they'll be there with us. Even though not every feline will be able to sit on you during these situations, they will do their best.

Cats are the perfect target for internet memes and videos, but there's also something endearing about their aloof nature.

So why do cats crave attention from us? One theory is that it all goes back to their wild roots.
In the wild, cats are solitary creatures. But in order to survive, they need to be able to form close bonds with other members of their pride.
Since they can't exactly do that with humans, the next best thing is to form a close bond with their human companions.
