Loyalty of Lassie: Cat brings gifts to the grave of its dead master
The story moved the inhabitants of the Tuscan mountain village of Montagnana Pistoiese: Almost every day a cat comes to the grave of his deceased Herrchens Renzo Iozelli in September, bringing with him a small gift.
"Toldo drags small twigs, leaves, toothpicks and plastic cups" told the widow, Ada Iozelli, on Friday. "Sometimes he comes along with me, sometimes he is alone on the way to the grave. All residents know him now."

Cat was also seen at funeral

The three-year-old gray and white cat attended Iozellis funeral and ever since coming to the cemetery - a loyalty that is usually attributed to more dogs. "He loved my husband and followed him everywhere," says Ada Iozelli. "Now I am left, my daughter and my son - and he likes us too," she added.

REALLY????????

I see a lot of people on here knocking cats and saying they are not loyal and only care about themselves, etc. etc. I have owned both cats and dogs and the most loyal and loving pet I ever had was a Siamese cat. I had several of them at the time and one in particular completely latched onto me. When I was home, he was with me constantly, always in my lap, always in my bed when I was sleeping. He followed me around wherever I went, greeted me at the door and practically jumped me when I got home from work and would wait outside the bathroom door when I was showering in the morning. If I was gone longer than I should be, my sig. other told me the cat would walk circles and wail until I got home.

Sadly, a roommate of mine left the door open one night (OVERnight) and both of my cats got outside. I didn't know it at the time and figured they were in another room sleeping when I left for work that morning. But soon after I pulled out of the driveway onto the main road I found my beloved kitty on the road dead. He'd been hit by a car. I've never gotten as emotional as I did over that, not even for humans who've passed away. I never found my second cat. And I've actually not been able to get another pet since that happened three years ago, it was such a bad experience for me.

Yes, dogs are more subservient and cats are more independent as a whole. But I learned through personal experience that humans and dogs, and humans and cats, can form equally as strong a bond with each other.

Dogs have masters. Cats have can-openers.

Because cats aren't pack animals. They don't give a *beep* if you die.

My little buddy is a lot different from most cats, I think. I got him when I was a young boy, and he started to cling to me very early on.

He used to try to follow me to school, sometimes even ambush me by jumping up on my back, climbing up to sit on my shoulder. My school was quite far away at the time, and you'd have to pass both a railway and a very travelled road. I didn't want him to get too close to either of those two, so after having had him on my shoulder for a while, or just by my side walking, I would at a certain point have to try to convince him to stay back. It turned out the only way to get him to stay was to put him down on the ground and run for all I was worth until I was out of his sight. Soon enough, he learned that I wouldn't let him follow me farther than to that specific spot and so he would stop once we reached it, sit down and watch me walk away, until he could no longer see me.

When me and my friends were outside playing in the close-by forest, my cat would almost always find us eventually, and follow us around for hours, wherever we went. He would always butt his head against mine every chance he got. He would then follow me back home when playtime was over.

He still to this day, 12 years later, likes to jump up on my back and sit on my shoulder when we're outside, and sometimes I take walks with him that way. Sitting on my shoulder wasn't something I ever taught him to do. He came up with that on his own, and he usually sits there until I lift him down myself. Most of the time, I have to lift him down against his will.

He's also spent most of his life sleeping in my room. I've changed bed a few times over the years and moved around all the furniture including the bed, but he still wants to lay in my room specifically, and sometimes when I sit and work on my computer, I catch him lying in bed watching me, with his eyes smiling.

If these things aren't signs of great affection, I don't know what is.
