If cats were people, they’d probably be psychopaths, scientists say

A study has found that the average cantankerous kitty could be harboring actual psychopathic tendencies.

Researchers at the UK’s University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University surveyed pet owners to rate their cats’ level of psychopathy — as defined by human psychological standards.

Their findings, published in the December issue of the Journal of Research in Personality, revealed that most cats fall somewhere on the spectrum of psychopathy — that is, on the “triarchic” concept of psychopathy, which uses levels of boldness, meanness and disinhibition to measure the psychiatric disorder in people.

LOL, Poor kitties. They get a bum rap. I think they are upset that they are no longer worshiped. They think the Egyptians got it right.
