that's maybe a little bit harsh but i think there is truth in it. i have a cat and i really like cats but i think many people who own a cat see something which isn't there between them and their cat. many believe the cat has a deep relationship to them and don't realize that as example when i'm in their house, get the same attention from their cat if i want to. sure she trusts someone she really knows more than someone she doesn't know but i donÄt believe a cat really cares about you. if you die, i don't believe a cat will sit on your bed and will mourn your death as long as she knows there will be someone else to feed her. if a dog will see your dead body and will realize you are dead, he will cry a lot. if a dog will see you have problems, he will try to help you. you know what a cat will do seeing you are dying? i say a cat will not even try to help you most of the time even with her intelligence. |
the same can be said of dogs giving attention to house guests. I dont see the point there.
Cats do form bonds, with each other and with humans. When i drive home everyday my cats come running to my car and walk me to the door. No its not for food or water, they have free access all day to that. When i get up to go outside and check my garden my orange cat always follows. I have an one cat that lives in my back yard with my moms three dogs(a great dane, a great dane rott mix, and shitzu) at night when the dogs are let in the cat waits at the door for them to come back becuase she misses them.
And just like dogs that forms bonds, when one dies the other is there for it.
