Cats certainly do not react to us as if we are other cats. The way they react to other cats is extremely different to how they react to humans.

Read the article. The whole thing is based on observation of cats in multiple scenarios. Pretty interesting.

minor correction.... cats don’t think we are cats of any variety whatsoever

the article author flatters himself....
seriously.

cats KNOW we are a very, Very INFERIOR species....
(barely worth keeping around at all....except that:
(1) we know how to open their tuna tins, and
(2) we don’t taste good anyways

I do not have a cat. Most of the cats in area are mountain lions and bobcats. They see me as food.

When you die they will think of you as dinner.

Someone said they think you’re purring when you sing. Who knows what cats think?

When I sing, and mercifully it is rarely, my cats - and everybody else - think the apocalypse is at hand, and the howling begins.

Same here. When I practice it’s no big deal to the critters, but when a sing and play the critters look at me like “OMG, that sounds like it must hurt - a lot!”

LoL

If that’s all they got, who is it hurting?

Not everyone is as blessed as many of us are with a big family

I’ve never feel more like a used trump than when i rub my cat’s belly for 20 minutes and then he gets up and leaves without even looking back at me.

i’m gonna start a #metoo movement :)

Cats don’t really meow to each other. They meow to humans. So apparently, a meow is cat for “Come and serve me, slave”.

My cat thinks I am Mon. When I come home from work, he runs to greet me, likes to cuddle with me, talks to me, kneeds my side when he wants food, and I’m the only one in the house he doesn’t sneak attack. He also brings me his kills.

We bonded when he was just a tiny baby. Over the weekend, his whole family was adopted, and he was mewling for his mom. I picked him up, put him on my chest, and pretended to lick his fur. Within seconds, he settled down and started purring. Slept on my chest the whole night. I’ve been mom ever since.

He fits in perfectly with my husband, kids, and dog.

I have a cat who hates it when I sing. She yowls at me, stares at me, lashes her tail... If I sing and walk she follows me, howling angrily... it’s pretty funny. Sometimes I sing and run, and she chases me, and we get pretty giddy.
