Dear Human 💕,

I noticed that you’re struggling with accepting help and that you really, really don’t like to ask for it.

I know humans would like to be as  independent as cats are. You are certainly much more independent than those dogs, but you’re not on our level. And let me tell you this: even cats accept help and meow for it when needed.

how do you usually feel after you were able to help  a creature solve a problem, especially if they couldn’t solve it alone? I remember you looked very pleased with yourself after you picked me up from the game shelf I got stuck on.

My  humans helped me out a lot – mostly with getting food and cleaning my toilet – and I found that they don’t mind at all. Humans are usually happy to help.

If they offer help without you even asking for it that means they really want to help. So, take it!

Not convinced? Think about it:

It makes humans happy to help. So, don’t hesitate to ask for help! If they don’t want to help, they will let you know.

Still not convinced? Think about it: 

Whenever I meow at you to open the cabinet door that hides all the treats, you have no problem saying no, when it’s not a good time for you.

Yours,
Cat 🐾

P.S. is now a good time to help me open that door?
