Granted, that love may be tied to the existence of food

People who say that cats are all crabby or indifferent simply don’t know how to cat properly

I had a cat who refused to leave my side for a week after I got my wisdom teeth out.

I can confirm cats have emotions. Mostly annoyance, anger, and vengeance.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, yeah totally..

Is this just not the most angry and avengeful boy you've ever seen?

"Hmph, yes. I will tolerate this. For now."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You say "for now," but he says "forever." 🤣 He has never once been done with the pets before I was, lol.

Truly, a very needy boy, xD

That is one happy cat! What's their name?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Yes they do. And cats are way more loving than people give them credit for

Oh my goodness that kitty looks so happy. They’re gazing at you with so much love. Please pet the kitty for me

I don't think feeding has much to do with it. My cat is obsessed with me and looks at me like this all the time, even though my wife feeds him. I don't think he even puts it together that he wouldn't be able to eat without someone feeding him.

food and the fact that humans have opposable thumbs which means we can not only open the food but also give good scritches.

My cat doesn't care about food that much, probably because she never new hunger. My other cat loves food, but in the morning she often comes to me to greet me and cuddle first (even though I'm not the one giving her food). Cats are full of love :)

Italian grandmothers agree with cats: food is love.

[–] Elden_Potato 2 points 1 year ago

Same for mine! Have two and they are in my grill 100% of the time when I get home. Moving from room to room whenever my wife and I go. Cats can clearly have emotions and do care :)
