I have enough trouble keeping up with all the play, grooming, feeding, petting, and puke wiping up without my computer adding to the load, thank you very much.
I know for a fact that cats can’t recognize faces because they freeze in fear when anyone walks into the room until they get a whiff. IME, they recognize us by smell, not sight. Cat Fancy (or Catnip, I forget which) said that cats are very near sighted and programmed (sorry) to see movement, not details.
So... Who’s right?
I suspect that they use multiple senses to recognize us.
IIRC, slit pupils are very good at seeing objects in motion, lousy at seeing still objects; thus, the classic case of a cat that can track a dust mote in the air, but has a hard time finding a piece of kibble under its nose.
