I’m wondering if cats think of us kind of like how a person thinks of a friendly bull: aware that they could easily kill us, but not necessarily afraid of them; or more like a large Dalmatian: they could fuck us up, but most of us don’t really think about that unless they’re being aggressive.
I grew up with dogs and feel like I understand them a lot better than I do cats as a whole. I adopted my cat almost four years ago and I feel like I get her pretty well, but I don’t really have an idea of what she thinks about me. I also don’t really know any other cats, though I’ve gotten along with strays and friends’ cats a lot better since I got mine.

These conversations always seem weird to me. I realize the modern human lives a sheltered life, but cats weigh ten pounds, if you don’t think a toddler could no diff them if it needed to you’ve never been in even a schoolyard fight and it shows. Mass matters in a fight. It matters a lot.
Honestly, the weirdest thing is people will say these things and then go upvote comments about endurance hunting and adrenaline being a super power.
