I have noticed cats do this when they are ready to ‘play’ with you (or fight from their perspective). Sometimes the cat is just sitting there, and I ‘antagonize’ it with a feather or string. It will jump to the couch and start scratching while looking at the feather. I think it’s just a natural reaction to fight back, babies or not.
Great tip in the article to not punish your cat when it does something wrong. It just gets worse when you do that. Learned it the hard way after once yelling at mine.
No, many of us don’t love cats. We see all the negatives (“overlords”) and they’re not outweighed by the positives. But people who love cats often distrust people who don’t.
How can a human being not love something so cute? You must be a robot/monster.
There was a time 15-20 years ago when the internet was a superhighway for cute cat pictures and videos. Futurama even did an episode on this weird cat relationship people have.
I’m glad that trend (?) seems to have died down by at least 50%.
