I’m wondering if cats think of us kind of like how a person thinks of a friendly bull: aware that they could easily kill us, but not necessarily afraid of them; or more like a large Dalmatian: they could fuck us up, but most of us don’t really think about that unless they’re being aggressive.

I grew up with dogs and feel like I understand them a lot better than I do cats as a whole. I adopted my cat almost four years ago and I feel like I get her pretty well, but I don’t really have an idea of what she thinks about me. I also don’t really know any other cats, though I’ve gotten along with strays and friends’ cats a lot better since I got mine.

My Izzy (cat tax:)

Isn't even slightly afraid of me; I'm her favorite sleeping surface, she doesn't hesitate to climb up on me, step on the most sensitive giblets she can reach, curl up and take a nap. I'm pretty sure she does know how much bigger I am than her, but she doesn't seem to let it bother her. She's not even afraid of getting stepped on, judging by how much she likes being underfoot.
