Your cat doesn't love you: science

The scientific part of me says it's more likely that cats just want to be fed and have a comfy bed inside when it's cold or raining and will do what they have to to achieve it. My heart says that Boyfie loves me. GLyN doesn't stay inside often. He DOES, however, follow me like a dog whenever I'm outside, and he talks to me constantly then, and only then. Inside, he won't eat until he has gotten up on my lap and been petted, and he does the same AFTER eating, almost every time he eats, day or night. He doesn't just loaf on my lap, he has to be ON my chest, or even my shoulder, and will strain to get his head tilted back far enough to see me when he's there. NOT the same as human love, but a close enough version for me, and apparently, for him. I'm with you. My two compete for attention, not for food. Koala usually spends at least part of the night lying on, or against my legs, although the bed is plenty big enough for him to be comfortable without touching me. When he's leading me to the kitchen for his meals, he often stops for petting on the way. As you say, that's close enough for me, and apparently for him. Joy |
