A research into cat behavior shows that domestic cats regard humans as social peers rather than superiors, often perceiving their owners as large, awkward kittens.

Far from being aloof or defiant, a cat’s apparent indifference stems from a profound interspecies mismatch in social expectations.

As anthrozoologist John Bradshaw explains, cats—unlike dogs—never evolved to recognize humans as dominant leaders or authority figures. Instead, they filter all interactions through an exclusively feline framework. Behaviors like kneading on your lap or licking your hair are not mere displays of affection; they are the same grooming and bonding rituals cats reserve for close kin or pride members. In their eyes, we are simply enormous, somewhat clumsy fellow cats who require inclusion in the group.

This absence of hierarchical deference accounts for cats’ frequent disregard of commands or household rules. Treating us as equals, they follow cat-to-cat social protocols in every encounter. The “gifts” of dead prey on the doorstep or constant shadowing around the home are acts of care toward what they see as a big, furless, rather inept companion.

Recognizing this mindset transforms the human-cat relationship from one based on authority and obedience to one of mutual companionship. It turns out that while many owners believe they have domesticated their cats, the cats themselves are quietly convinced they are patiently tending to their oversized, adopted family members.

if this was intentional then I think they really missed an opportunity here to make a joke out of it! Can you imagine #Logan just being dragged around, drunk off his ass, and we assume he knows it's #Deadpool but then all of the sudden he's just like “Who are you???”

[Delany Burk @DelanyBurk]

Wait... Does Logan even know who he’s with for the first half of the #DeadpoolandWolverine movie???Think about it, DP drags him out of his world without an introduction… and bc this is the multiverse, we have no idea if this variant of Logan even served with Wade…

[Delany Burk @DelanyBurk]

Logan just calls him Bub for like the first half if not the whole movie…. He doesn’t call him Wade or Deadpool that I can remember until at least the third act, and they never talk about their history together or exchange any introductions...

When did debates change from candidates talking about what actually matters, to them just fighting over which one of them is more stupid? #Biden #trump

just watched #Blonde ... it puts norma/marilyn in a box that only allows to her be abused, sexualized, or call people daddy. extremely strange. maybe we stop letting misogynistic men try to make groundbreaking films about women- of which they know nothing about.
