    Black cats are such bros. I have two and they basically act like they’re dogs. There is no such thing as too much attention. They beg for food at the table. They bring toys up to you in their mouths wanting to play. They sit outside my bathroom “guarding” anyone that uses it - then meow their faces off expecting treats for their services. They even kept pouncing on my diabetic Mom while she was asleep and unknowingly having a blood sugar crash until she woke up and got something to eat. I never thought I’d waste money on canned cat food but I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say they saved her life, they are worth it.

      @Mudkipology @Rokil, The difference between cats and dogs is that the dog is not really a friend, but your subordinate who sees you as the leader of the pack that he follows until death. A cat is not a pack animal but you can develop a deep friendship with it, but you have to earn it as with another person, otherwise, it will no see you more as a can opener.
