Stevie, an orange tabby cat with a dog-like personality, has won over the internet.
His story began sadly as the only kitten to survive in his litter after being left outside an apartment building.
Stevie has a loving home with Allison, who adopted him when he was about eight weeks old.
Stevie and Allison’s Special Bond
From the start, Stevie showed he needed people. He would snuggle up close and sleep by Allison’s neck.
As he grew, he became fond of a quirky routine: being rocked gently just like a baby.
He loves this so much that he starts purring and sometimes even gives Allison little nibbles and kisses after his “baby bounce.”
A New Friend for Stevie
Stevie is super friendly, but he doesn’t like to be alone. Seeing this, Allison decided to get him a buddy, Mac.
The two cats quickly became best pals and now do everything together, including sleeping in the bed cuddled up close.
Healing with a Purr
Stevie has been a great comfort to Allison, especially during tough times like a breakup or when she’s not feeling well.
He just knows when to come over and snuggle up to make her feel better.
Stevie’s Health Journey
Stevie used to be a bit overweight, but with a new diet and care, he’s now at a healthy weight. His vet checks have all come back with good news.
What the Experts Say
Yes, Stevie’s love for being bounced is unusual, but experts say it’s not unheard of.
Cats that trust their owners and feel safe might like this kind of cuddling. It can remind them of being carried by their mother as kittens.
Stevie’s story shows how unique and deep the bond between pets and their owners can be.
It reminds us that animals often have their own special ways of showing love, and every moment with them is precious.
