Are housecats aware of how much bigger people are? - eviltoast

I’m wondering if cats think of us kind of like how a person thinks of a friendly bull: aware that they could easily kill us, but not necessarily afraid of them; or more like a large Dalmatian: they could fuck us up, but most of us don’t really think about that unless they’re being aggressive.

I grew up with dogs and feel like I understand them a lot better than I do cats as a whole. I adopted my cat almost four years ago and I feel like I get her pretty well, but I don’t really have an idea of what she thinks about me. I also don’t really know any other cats, though I’ve gotten along with strays and friends’ cats a lot better since I got mine.

    So cats are ok with us tripping over them, as long as we profusely apologize afterwards, interesting :)

    It sounds like the 2 cats count on the smart cat to get the door open for them. They have no reason to learn as long as the present system works.
