Woke up an hour ago because our mad younger cat climbed on my shoulder and was purring into my ear while licking it.
Now she’s snoring loudly at my feet while the stray we feed and give cuddles to sings the song of his people outside. Sorry sweetie, the older cat will soon rock on to chase you away so he can come to our bedroom, jump on top of my night table, push something off the table to show how disgusted he is with the poor stray and claim his rightful place beside me. He will also probably take his delight in bullying the younger cat first by staring at her till she wakes up- just because he can.
AIBNU in thinking cats have evolved to show us our rightful place in the hierarchy of species? You wouldn’t tolerate people doing that, let alone any other pets.
