Cats don’t interact with humans the same way they interact with other cats. They know we are not cats. I like the statement “ they probably don’t care what we are”

True, I don't think they care what we are, they care how we treat them.

been saying this for so long, its so easy to disprove cats think we are just big cats, can't believe we are still talking about this in 2024

I nursed and reared my 4 cats since they were 2 weeks old, due to them having the cat flu. They were born on my back patio via a stray. It took me round a year to tame the mother, who became part of our feline family. The kittens are now 6 years old, big, healthy, and very affectionate.

Yes, they dream. My one cat had a nightmare the other week. She was whining in her sleep, and she sounded scared. I gently laid my hand on her back, and she woke up hissing at me. A moment later, she realized it was me and calmed down, purred, and I pet her as she went back to sleep.

My cats (4) see me as a giant treat dispenser.

Cats treat other cats much differently than they treat humans. They know we are different.

Here'z the one I'm curious about: what do cats think of clothing? They watch us put clothes on and take them off...what do they think we're doing? Taking off our fur?

I have a kitten who just got spayed and recently finished up her time in her surgical suit (by which I mean: she escaped and was far along enough in the healing process that I didn't attempt to get her back into it). I suspect she has a sense of what clothing is since she (involuntarily) wore some for over a week. As a total guess, I would say that cats probably think of clothing as "that annoying, constricting thing that I don't want to wear - but apparently my human does; whatever."

My cat has won the Nobel Prize in catting seven times in one year. That doesn't happen very often. He's the very bestest cat in the world.

Mosttime my cats see me as her personel Whiskas Can opener, and Catisfaction bag opener. If we snuggle, they forget that im no cat.🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈👍😊🇫🇷

@jackilynpyzocha662 I think in the English spoken countries " Catisfaction" are called " Temptations" ( Treats, in several tasts, in the Yellow bags are with cheese filled treats, I tried them, really good)👍😊🐈🇫🇷

I like how the conclusion of many cat studies is: „We don‘t really know, maybe they just don‘t give a f**k“

They treat us like cats in the same way that we treat them like people.

I took a cat in, a tiny panther, who was very affectionate, but also quite wild at times. When I got on his nerves he would apply the 2-Stage Disciplinary Method of Correction: 1. Securing a hold on my hand with his teeth, then 2. Biting harder, but not breaking the skin/not causing bleeding!!! Although it stung every time, I knew he was only telling me off. He also liked to head butt me, and lie along my body as I lay watching TV. I'll always remember dear Woody ❤❤❤😺😸😺😸

I think, Cat looks at us with vision, A pure feeling of touch from us…?😻

I agree with most of what is said in the video except the problem solving part. Maybe it applied when my cat was younger, she is 10yo now and still a great hunter. And wow, can she move! Anyway when it comes to jumping up to her food bowls she would much rather have me pick her up and place her there!

Cats think of us a free door dash delivery. We are there to provide food for them!

My cat is dark tortoiseshell. Her hunts drive me a little crazy as she is bringing in gifts 3 times a week! I don’t know if she plays with the others outside to avoid me taking away her catch. She brought me a family of bats!

TORTIES!!!!!!!! Does she have tortitude? Vrrreow!

They know we're not cats but they don't have the capacity to express themselves towards us any differently to how they communicate with other cats. Experts say they're not very complex in thought but they are. They understand more concepts than we give them credit for. Granted they can't learn to drive or write a book but they understand what we do and they see us as very caring skillful strong caregivers.

Interesting, thank you ❤

Do cats think that mice are cats? What about cows? Or cars? Of course these are unbelievably silly questions. Every creature’s life depends on quickly assessing the capabilities of another creature in terms of defensive abilities and offensive abilities so obviously they must have so type of classification ability. My cats definitely understand that I have hands and they do not. They also understand that they have physical abilities that I don’t have . In short, they know I’m not a cat🙄

Basically the answer to all the questions is inconclusive.

I think that domesticated cats see us as big cats. They know we feed them and look after them and all of their needs and I'm sure that in an animal's mind, only family would do that for them. We see cats as part of our family and I'm sure that they think they really are part of the family.

When I was having a heart attack, both of my cats recognized it and "yelled" at me to get help

I have a question. My cats LOVE me, but they are terrified of, and even annoyed by, almost every other human, including my mother, girlfriends--polite term--and even regular visitors that they should recognize. Why is that?

❤

I don't think cats even have the concept of what a "cat" is or what a "human" is. That being said I do not think they see us as other cats because we're obviously different in addition to this, they also use vocalizations to talk to us because they understand that we communicate through sound. With other cats however, cats do not meow at them they communicate through other methods. So I don't think cats know exactly what they are or what we are, but they definitely know the differences. Cats are of course intelligent creatures and I do think they are more cognitively aware then what most people realize. I had a cat once who knew she had to open doors in order to get to me for cuddles.

Cats maybe just don't care what you are. They are very wise and "magic" beings. They care how and "WHO" you are. Cats are no pets to me. They are so much more. And they are own individual characters with love, anger, fear, everything. And especially soul! But I was partly raised by a siamese cat and when I was very young he started to bring home a living uninjured mouse to me, let it go in the room and just watched at me and sat into the door so that the mouse couldn't leave the room. Same he did a small rabbit. I lived with him since I was born and lived with him until he passed away at the age of nearly 22. I spent half my life with cats. So yes, when you a a baby/small child and they were the only other member of the family aside from parents when you were born, it maybe, that they think you are a cat but I can say for sure that some want to teach you what they would teach a kitten. Later on they were my best friends. We could communicate without human words or with as I learned their noverbal as well as verbal language. If you love cats and have empathy and treat them on eye-level as you would treat humans you love then they will be your best buddies. If they want to. They are as humans. Or I am like a cat... 😉.

Cats see us wear clothes, which is very different from how they dress. That should tell them that we are different from them. They also see us walk upright, which is another obvious difference.

Our cat definitely knows I'm not a cat, because he sometimes grabs my hand and attempts to play-bite it when he's really enjoying a snuggle session, only to immediately realise what he's doing and stop to see how I react. As for problem solving, I've had two cats that figured out how to open a door using the handle. That's some properly joined-up thinking.

None of my cats view me as a cat. Why do they treat us like cats? A cat acts like a cat. Er, they are a cat. That is why I act human around them. Ok, I do act like a cat as well.

if your the cat's "family" then you simply ARE

There's two types of cats though. Cat cats and dog cats. Y'all know what I mean.

Cat intelligence: The universe revolves around ME. It contains 4 categories of things; 1: Stuff to eat, 2: Stuff to sleep on, 3: Stuff to play with, (1,2 and 3 are interchangeable) 4: Everything else which can be ignored. Feline Filosofy: Cats have heard about ‘consciences’, but after investigation, decided they had no use for anything that stopped you from doing what you wanted to do.

I know my cats know I’m not another cat. For starters, none of my cats try to smell my butt.

can they differentiate our gender? I know other primates do . . . not sure about dogs and cats . . . I've seen dogs butt sniffing ppl but I don't think it's to determine the gender . . . can they tell young and old

What do cats think of humans? A useful convenience if you can train the stupid things properly but they are very slow learners, be patient. Don’t waste time trying to teach them to hunt, they’re useless.

A little sketchy on research and study .Hyperbole and conjecture based on poor science is a disservice to understanding

We all, Humans cats, others are all part of the same quantum wave structure.

Cats certainly do not see humans as their owners. Cats see themselves as bosses over their human servants.
