Research Claims Your Cat Thinks You’re Just Another (Big!) Cat - Polidicks

[QUOTE] An article from CBS Connecticut about Bradshaw’s books explains further, stating that “cats treat humans as though they were the mama cat…[B]when a cat rubs against you with its tail straight in the air, it is checking to make sure you are not hostile” and that “if a cat “kneads” you, that’s how it used to get milk from its mother.”[/B] In other words, what seems like feline affection might actually be perfunctory.[/QUOTE] [url]http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2014/01/15/research-claims-your-cat-thinks-youre-just-another-big-cat/[/url]

my cat just thinks I'm a food dispenser :(

That's news to me, even though I've owned these cats for three years.

I meow to my cat and he meows back. Sometimes we have little conversations.

My cats knead me every time I'm in my robe. It's like a nice, soft massage with purring vibration included.

One of my cats humps me when I'm in bed. At least he thinks I'm just another cat, but it's a bit too Oedipal now....

i love cats so much <3

I knew it.

So that's why he poops on the floor? Damn little immature shit.

my cat spends its time getting her ass sniffed by my dogs

I have always suspected this, the way my cat pushes his head against mine when we are chilling is exactly the same way he greets other cats he likes. [quote] Unlike the “I’ll-love-you-and-be-your-best-friend-forever-no-matter-what!” enthusiasm you get from a dog...[/quote] The argument of why the author prefers dogs over cats, is exactly why I am not a big fan of pet dogs. Why would you want a pet that is that needy?

My cat plays fetch with me. I think he's a reincarnated Dog.

Isn't the reason cats bring dead animals into the house because they think you're a big cat that sucks at being a cat?

Me and my cat have this super cool game we play. She lays on the second step from the top of the stairs, but changes position slightly, almost resulting in my immediate death. And then some times she likes to purr and put her head over me, and then the game ends when i try to stroke her and get blood drawn!..

Exactly what I want to be. Nyaaa~

[QUOTE=Bradyns;43560393]Clearly this shows that dogs are superior.[/QUOTE] Would also imply that babies are superior :v:

so jesse cox was right about that... how frightening.

[QUOTE=Bradyns;43560393]Clearly this shows that dogs are superior.[/QUOTE] Or that unlike dogs which are as dependent as babies, cats are just independent and better adapted to the real world.

Part of the reason I prefer cats is that they're generally not such needy buggers like dogs Except for mine, which'll miaow at 3 in the morning if she feels like she hasn't been fed/brushed/rubbed or communicated with Satan enough. Never quite sure which it is :v: Greets me warmly when I come home, though, as if I had been gone for years.

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;43560313]My cat plays fetch with me. I think he's a reincarnated Dog.[/QUOTE] My cat, Trouble, I basically nearly took care of myself because everyone kept getting angry at him for shitting on the carpet. So he and I quickly grew attached and now he gets really upset when I leave. Even eats less apparently.

My cats beat on my dogs for shits and giggles. Funniest shit ever.

Cats were never bred to be real pets, they were kept feral to a point where they could be used to hunt rats on farms and be largely independent, they do a better job at dealing with pests than any rat poison. The cat is for someone who largely doesn't want a whole lot of responsibility of looking after an animal but wants to have comfort in knowing there is one near them who will occasionally show some affection to them.

My cat just waits for me to open the door to the bedroom and then will sit there and wait for me to go in. Then we just sort of lay there and chill as I stare the ceiling and he makes himself cozy by kneading for 15m until finally laying down.

Every time I visit my friend's house his cat usually always spends time/sleeps/chills in the room I'm in no matter what. He sleeps on all my things no matter where they are, my suitcase, my accessories on top of the bookshelf, and most of the time my lap. I must be a friendly cat.
