Why do some people like cats so insanely much?

I also asked me that question until I got a cat IRL hahaha

I have had several cats in irl and I still cannot answer the question 🤷🏽‍♂️

Why would you keep getting cats if you don't like them? Or do you mean you do like them but you don't understand why you like them?

You misunderstood me. It is not that I don’t like them. It is that I don’t like them as insanely much as some people seem to like them. To me they are okay. However, for some people they are life.

I see! As a person who is a cat person (and not a dog person) I get it. To me dogs fall under the "cute but not for me" category.

One of my cats lightly pats my eyelid when she wants me to wake up. When she wants kisses, she'll pat my lips. If I talk to her, she meows back. She has different facial expressions, tail twitches and other body language to communicate with me. I pay attention to her, and she pays attention to me. If I'm anxious, she rubs up against me to give me love

Cats respond to their owners. You have to first learn their language before you can understand them. If they see that you can't understand them, they will treat you accordingly

The cats that I owned only wanted food and to go outside to fuck with other cats.

Interesting. All of my cats have had their own unique personalities. I did have one that was like the one you mentioned above, but he didn't live long. Almost all of my cats have been indoors only for that reason
