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?

    In the wild, cat moms would share mothering duties. So a kitten would have a mom and a bunch of aunts.
    Wild cats generally only meow when they are kittens communicating with their mom. Kneading (‘making biscuits’) is also something they only do to their mom (it stimulate milk production).
    Domesticated socialized cats basically… Mentally stay in the kittenhood phase. So they literally think you are their mom or aunt.
