More and more studies are leaning toward the fact that cats are little psychopaths who would love nothing better than to trip their owners while going down the stairs. But is this true? We've talked a lot about it here at Cat Talk, and while I like to defend them, scientists are now saying that domestic cats are absolutely little psychopaths.
The evidence is compelling. From their complete lack of guilt or remorse to their lack of facial muscles, the way they always trip us and the way they've invaded our brains to make us like them better than we might not otherwise... it makes absolute sense that cats might just be small ferocious beasts who'd otherwise take us out in our sleep if they were only a bit bigger.
But what about cheetahs who grow up with dogs as their best friends? What about how my cats soothe me when I'm crying (maybe they just find me annoying and want me to shut up!) or the fact that cats might even enjoy interacting with us more than they like eating? Well, cats do enjoy playing with their food...!
Do you think the science is there and that cats really are psychopathic? Psychopaths can love, after all, especially if they are lower on the scale than, say, serial killers. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the chat.
