I tell my cat she’s the center of the universe. Since space-time wraps around on itself, the known universe doesn’t have a defined center and any point in space can be considered its center. She knows she’s the center of the universe.

And then there is this cat raised by pitbulls:

Apparently they also think that humans are particularly large and somewhat useless cats

Well, are they wrong?

Thats not a joke, cats literally think that, there are studies about that.

[–] Hikiru@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

More accurately, they treat us how they treat other cats. They haven't been bred to do otherwise like dogs have. It doesn't mean they think we're cats.

I wish to read these studies! To help me understand myself! It would make alot of sense if I was just a giant, really lazy cat

@rx8geek Useless? I put little ice cubes in their water!

They're not wrong.

Except when the cat was raised with dogs and no other cats. Met many a cat who thought they were a dog. (or dogs who thought they were cats)

a cat's cat, you might say.

My cat lived with humans since birth, pretty much believes he is a human. Other cats really confuse him now.

My cat just thinks I'm a large, inept cat.

Except the troubled ones. Our orange "Fuchs" was hit by a car, the driver (a veterinary) took his operation on, to fix the pieces of his pelvis together. He limps a bit since then but is just a nice guy enjoying being cat, nothing of the asshole behavior.

Well if your cat is going to be hit by a car, I suppose getting hit by a veterinarian who will repair your cat for free is choice.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

But seriously that guy. A few days after the op, still couldn't walk all bandaged up, he used the wall as support to get to his people eating supper. ♥️
