What is love?
When I did some research I found out it was the most researched question on Google in 2012. One website (chabad.org) defines it as an action and it is similar to asking "what is running?" or "what is swimming?" Psychologytoday.com says it is a force of nature.
"Love speaks out for justice and protests when harm is being done. Love points out the consequences of hurting oneself or others. Love allows room for anger, grief, or pain to be expressed and released....Love cares what becomes of you because love knows that we are all interconnected. Love is inherently compassionate and empathic. Love knows that the "other" is also oneself. This is the true nature of love and love itself can not be manipulated or restrained. Love honors the sovereignty of each soul. Love is its own law."

After finding these definitions, I know that what Kismet does is out of love. When she jumps on the bed and shoves her wet nose on to my face, it is love.
When Kismet paws at me so I can pet her and show affection back, it is out of love.
When Kismet forces herself on to me so we can cuddle, it is out of love.
