Sorry, but unlike dogs, your cat will never really love you

@SwampFlower haha I wouldn’t say triggered, I’d say ✨inspired✨

@Zeuro his face is unperturbed by your puny science

@Zeuro Don't be rude.

@Carazaa I wasn’t being rude biatch

@AbbySvenz not chemically

@Carazaa if you’re look into the science they really don’t. Fact if they were big enough they’d literally kill you

@Zeuro I don't believe that. Cats love to snuggle with people. I walk down the street and cats come up and purr and beg to be petted. I have owned many cats, and many dogs. There are many breeds of both and it all depends how you develop the relationship and how you talk to them and some are naturally more cuddly than others Orange cats are the cuddliests. They think they are puppies, they love to hug, and kiss you all day.

@ViciDraco Loyalty and companionship, two sided exchange? Bizzare

@MethDozer cats offer those, often with stronger loyalty than some dogs. Sitting on command isn't loyalty. And not many human lovers would care to be commanded the way we do dogs. Does that mean dogs love more than people?

@cherokeepatti Oh, he def has "rounds," he takes. Most Cats will pattern or stay if the food is extra yummy.

@Iwillwait I see a pattern, about two days after a major holiday this cat disappears. I think it’s eating holiday leftovers that some family is putting out on their back porch. And some weekends, gone all weekend and shows up on Monday mornings

@cherokeepatti yep or their children are letting them in the home and when he gets restless and asks to leave they open the door and off to you he goes. 🙂

@ViciDraco it’s not one study, there’s plenty of studies

@lovelywarpedlemon to answer your question, I don’t hate cats. I used to have a cat. But they don’t love you the same way a dog can.

@SW-User Don't believe it.

@Carazaa literally google it and you’ll see that I’m right

@Nobody00 affectionate maybe, but even that doesn’t compare to the average dog

@graphite dogs probably would as well. Growing up in rural areas, we've always had to be careful of the dogs killing chickens for fun.

@ViciDraco Some dogs might. I've had this neighbor's cat camped out in my yard to kill birds in the neighbor's bird feeder. Cat jumps up, comes down with a newly dead bird in its mouth. Why? The cat already has plenty of food.

@ViciDraco um there are plenty of dogs that are certainly capable of killing their owners due to their size but they rarely do. With big cats it’d be just a matter of time, they’re like tigers or lions

@SW-User it’s measured by oxytocin levels

@SW-User no they measure it in positive interactions

@Elessar the article mentions [i]fondness.[/i]. Yeah sure your cat can be fond of you, but love is a chemical reaction that objectively happens at much lower levels for cats

@Beatbox34 my cat reacts much more to affection than my dogs. My cat leans into it and responds to my touch. The dogs just stand there like idiots and it's hard to tell if they like it or they just don't have anything better to do.

@SW-User I am a truth teller 🤷‍♀️

True. You get things off your chest! @Zeuro

@Tres13 pretty sure it was 9 lives...

You would be correct 👍🏿@Zeuro

@Jabulani so it uses you for warmth
