Does a cat ever wonder why humans feed them?
Like... what do cats think of their humans?
"Lol this stupid human feeds me for no reason"
or
"This human feels like my mother"
"This human is a great friend"
or something else?

I think it depends a lot on the individual cat? In my experience, their attitudes towards humans can vary quite considerably.
Some are more aloof and independent and see their human as a source of food like you say.
But then I think about our current cat. He’s a rescue who’s clearly been through a lot on the streets. When I come home, he just wants to climb onto me and head butt and do that slow blink thing. He wants this more than food, even, which is a first for me.
When we were adopting him, we fostered first for a couple of weeks before he had to go in for a surgery, and in the week or so when e was boarded, the staff said he was wailing every night wanting to go home. So he had clearly developed an attachment to us that transcended simply wanting any human who provides food and shelter.
I agree with this too. Depends on the cat. One I know of will take attention anytime over food, it’s crazy.
Depends on the food. If I got the normal dry food, she will wait until head pats are done. Treats, shes willing to work for and do tricks.
If i got the good wet food, its a life and death situation. Usually she's so excited I can't get her to focus on doing tricks.
Don't teach your cat how to speak for food. It's cursed knowledge.
Just want to second that "Don't teach your cat how to speak for food" line, definitely cursed knowledge
Do they end up meowing horribly loudly or something? Haven't got much experience with cats; enlighten me!
mine started meowing loudly and persistantly any time we opened a can as the sound was similar to the wet food openning. Tuna, soup, etc, cat doesnt know its not for her, lol
