Well, cats mimic their owners in a lot of ways. Great way to see your mental health is to watch your cat closely. They mimic us in a lot of ways. Walking on your computer? They're just trying to use it like you are.
I do have an anxiety disorder, but I have never stood in our hallway screaming for someone to turn the light on because I was scared and alone a room away from people and lights
Hahahaha okay fair enough! Cats are adorable but absolutely weird sometimes!
My current one literally only purrs when he’s eating. He can be comfy as can be, kneading a blanket, whatever, almost no purr. Put out some food and the boi turns into a diesel engine
Understanding scientific research isn't your strong suit is it? It's sort of where the term copy cat comes from. You may Google it. But I feel you're like most people on the internet that prefer to argue than learn.
I have three published papers in peer reviewed journals in this field (and have contributed to many more but eh): two in songbird learning and behavior, and one in cephalopod learning and behavior as a first author. That probably makes me doxxable, but I mean, knock yourself out.
Yes, actually, felines are related to birds and cephalopods. How the fuck do you think evolution works?
You're absolutely delusional if you think that the reason cats walk across your keyboard is because they're trying to interface with technology.
You're also absolutely delusional if you think that cats are some sort of divining rod that is reflective of your own mental state, other than being as scared as any other animal is when suffering abuse.
Stop projecting. Animals are animals. I am not certain you have ever even read a peer reviewed journal article let alone, like, written one.
For some that claims to read a lot of papers you sure aren't good at reading compression. I stated they're mimicking their owner. The very definition is meaning they are doing the same act the owner is doing. Which is a form of their way of showing love. They aren't doing it as a way to actually use the technology. You're fairly delusional if yourself if that's your take from this.
As for divining rod. Who's delusional now. We aren't talking about any form of crystal science here. The more you disregard only enhances the disbelief you're in the field you're in.
I mean the rest of this doesn't grammatically parse at all? Say to yourself, out loud, the sentence "The more you disregard only enhances the disbelief you're in the field you're in."
Autocorrect. So yes and I typed what I typed. We aren't in honors English. Not making sense of a simple sentence doesn't really fall on the one presenting it
However. Since you like to read may I present to you what findings there are that you dispute don't exist and are untrue. Regardless research stating otherwise.
