Cats in the News

Breaking news: Humans have figured out that we bond to them. "Cats display distinct attachment styles toward human caregivers," their paper says. In other words, yes, we love the humans we live with. Well, duh! Do they actually need us to spell it out for them? How insecure is that?!

I'll admit that at first I was a bit insulted. I mean, if my humans can't figure out that I love them and am attached to them, why am I bothering to show it? Or even, why am I letting myself get attached in the first place?

Upon mature reflection, though, I believe that this is only news to humans who don't live with cats. Since not all humans share their homes with cats, some humans just don't realize what they are missing out on. I think the other humans--the ones who do live with cats--wanted to let them in on the secret. 

Which is, of course, that cats are cool.
