Today's 3am thought. . .

Posted 05-12-2008 at 02:48 AM by DarkHoodness
I woke up last night and layed around in bed half-awake for about 10 minutes before sleeping again. During that time, I thought about something.

It's weird how my cats feel love for me. I don't personally feed them unless they ask me (my mum's been re-filling thier bowl since I was in Germany for 5 months last year even though I'm back now), yet they still follow me around the garden, sit with me and greet me each time they see me.

It begs a question. Why do they express thier love and compassion for me, but not for each other? They lick each other and lay next to each other from time to time, but I never see them greet each other like they greet me. Nor do they follow each other around.

Of course I love them and stroke them in return, but why do they love a completely different species rather than thier own, especailly when they can understand each other better than they understand me? Isn't a bit weird?

And as an end note, it's too damned hot. What happened to Spring? It was freezing 3 weeks ago. Then Summer's suddenly pounced and it's 27-28C all of a sudden. :S Like there's been a jump from Winter to Summer.

Fucking climate change. This sucks majorly.

Because you own them. They remember you are a friendly person. You also go around showing off your chest (if not exposed), which as kittens they associate with their mother allowing them to suckle. Also, they own you. They can detect their scent on you more than they can each other. Also, because you are a different species, they have no need to worry about your territory, when all the time they're under each others’ feet, so to speak.

It’s much the same for my two cats, but they certainly don’t love each other. They just tolerate each other.

I prefer parrots. They have the endearing trait in which, unless you are a total expert in raising them, they become possessive of you, love only you and go nuts on anyone else. I plan to gather a veritable flock for this very purpose.

Cats cannot feel compassion surely?

In other news Max kept me up till 4am, he is a very bad man and a voracious sexual predator.

In other news, you kept me up until 4 a.m., although I refute nothing else.

Lies! I'm a young, vulnerable and naive teen.

You're the big bad intimidating wolf here.
