I don’t know… as much as it is fun to suggest that cats consider us servants or furniture, I think that the relationship is a bit more complex. It is far too easy to anthropomorphize, but it seems to me that our six cats (and all the ones that have shared our lives before) consider us part of their “family”, something akin to a parent or sibling. I think there is love there, different from the slavish devotion a dog might give, but real.

I’m happy these comments got away from the original, anger-filled post. I probably don’t need more anger, frustration, and disappointment in humanity in my life anyway 🙂
