Cats don’t get enough credit for their loyalty, but the story of a cat named Cleo and her dedication to her person will warm your heart.

Cleo on a Mission

As reported in The Dodo, Nancy Cowen had rescued Cleo from the streets about eight years ago, and in the years since, her bond with the dark-haired, fluffy beauty had blossomed.

But the good days of lounging with Cleo ended when Nancy had to be sent to Bramley House, a nursing facility located in Westcott, England, when she could no longer care for herself or Cleo the same way. Nancy wouldn’t be leaving Cleo to her own fate. The plan was simple: Cleo would stay in the care of Nancy’s neighbor. But Cleo hadn’t cleared that plan, and instead, she went out on her own and retook her old life on the streets.

Cleo had a mission, and it was to find Nancy. Two weeks after Nancy’s arrival, Bramley House staff noticed that they had a new guest: a fluffy stray cat. They also noticed how affectionate and friendly this stray was. They took a liking to Cleo and even fed her. Cleo spent her days sleeping outside of the facility and peering through the windows.

4. That's so sweet. I have my own cat story.

We moved about a block away from our old home. I couldn't find my cat anywhere. Searched daily. I also had a long haired cat that was her kitten. I never really bonded with the long hair. Don't know why. About 6 months later, there was a howling at the door. The long haired cat and Momma were standing there. I was so thrilled! Sad part is, long hair disappeared and I never saw her again.

7. Thanks, Omaha. Justgamma, our mostly grown kitten adopted a tiny wild kitten one vicious winter.

She was terrified of us at first but bonded tight to him. When our presence nearby kept her from coming in the cat door with him, Oliver would go back out and get her. They're getting rather elderly now and prefer to winter on our laps. He's actually a famous cat model. You've probably seen him in many ads and commercials.
