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 cat makes up for it by sitting on my shoulders. I specifically have several canvas or thick jackets I wear around the house to protect me from his claws (we do trim them) because he just hops on me like a Taxi.

When I got the bus to college, there used to be a guy I'd see a couple of times a month who'd have a shoulder-cat riding him on the bus

My cat is afraid of breezy weather. It probably won't work. But I wish it did. I would try to take him to work.
