Like… what do cats think of their humans?

“Lol this stupid human feeds me for no reason”

or

“This human feels like my mother”

“This human is a great friend”

or something else?

    I don’t think they question it. Just like if you feed a stray cat, they will often continue to come back

    “Human gives food. I stay with human.”

    It was this evolutionary trait that allowed us to domesticate animals in the first place. I don’t know if they have the complex psychological capacity to question or doubt it to that level. It’s a trust bond, not a superiority one.
