and its probably because that is not the way cats behave
but I prefer to imagine its because they are always avoiding the second arrow of unhappiness.
The first arrow being the unpleasant event. The second arrow being how they decide to feel about it.
No. Cat's receive the first arrow, then do a ninja pounce immediately avoiding the second arrow. Then they make a cute noise and go on with their day like no problem. Maybe even clean themselves a bit and then take a nap on the roof ledge of a building.
They are a mature mammal with full control of their emotions always in the present moment, an inspiration to us all!
