my cats love me unconditionally.
or so you think
Go travel abroad for 2 years, come back home and see if they even remember you. Cats don't like their owner no matter what he does to them. I don't think I need to link to any resources that prove cats don't love unconditionally as dogs do because it's common knowledge by now
Dogs "love", because it's instinct.
Dogs are pack-animals that are hard-wired to show behaviors that seem like love, but aren't.
I've seen dogs randomly turn on their owners because of the same instincts.
- Whereas, if a cat shows you love - it's the real deal.
Cats aren't genetically designed to be pack-animals - they have no instincts to make them behave as dogs do.
If a cat shows affection - it's operating beyond the boundaries of its genetic design.
The cat loves you for real.
And it won't turn on you like a dog will, either.
