Cats think you're just a a slightly big, dumb non-hostile cat. Quite specifically, he says that they treat humans as if they were their Mama Cat.
All that rubbing up against you with their tails up is apparently no more than a hopeful check that you really are just another big, fat, slovenly cat who doesn't intend to eat them with their Welsh Rarebit.

Yup. Ours too.
And our cat is amused and entertained when we pick things up off of the floor after she has knocked them off of the counter.
So, cats diss their mommies? They think their mommies are stupid?
So cats compare us to Stimpy.
“Stimpy! You iiiidiot!”
Ya. Feral cats. Pretty mean if you corner one. Good mousers, though.
They probably think that we are pretty weird cats. After all, we like dogs and we sleep during the night.
Cat Trivia: The Domestic Cat has a 90 % kill success versus about a 10 to 50 % kill success rate for large cats, such as Tigers and Lions.
My cat catches, eats, and then leaves the carcass of a dove on my front step whenever I forget to feed her in the early morning.
This morning as I went to feed the two indoor cats, I had to clean up kitty poop on a rug in the hall. That didn’t please me very much. Finally, after cleaning the mess and the rug and washing my hands, I went to the kitchen to make coffee and feed the outdoor cat. Surprise! Bird feathers all over the kitchen floor. I presume this bird was eaten because I couldn’t find parts anywhere else in the house. The two indoor cats may soon become outdoor cats and the kitty door may be locked as well.
Cats have “staff”, indeed.
[Don’t tell your wife about this: ((Terriers are genetically predisposed to hate cats.)) ]
Our last cat decided to use the laundry basket as his litter box. Pissed all over our clean clothes. Kitty earned a long term vacation as in I took him out about 40 miles and let him out. ENOUGH of feral animals in my house. See ya. We have had a dog for about 10 years. MUCH better house guest and guardian.
“So, who’s the stupid one, huh???”
My cat spends most of the day lounging around in the warmest, most comfortable spot she can find while I work myself to the bone to buy gourmet cat food and pay taxes.
We both know who the stupid one is.
May G-d have mercy on your soul.
I disagree with the findings of this Anthrozoologist. Cats know you’re human and not a cat. They’re aware you and the family dog are entirely different species. You may be their parents, but they’re aware you’re not a cat. Cats are family; it’s the stupid dog who is the household pet.
What cats don’t get is that despite the fact you’re a hopeless stumbling klutz with miserable dexterity and incapable of speed, cannot smell things across the house, evidently can’t hear for crap, and are demonstrably blind as a bat, you’re the most amazing hunter they’ve ever seen. It’s madness.
You wake up in the morning, go away for hours and hours, then return home around sundown with bags of food and begin a great feast. How in the HELL do you do it, they wonder. You can’t even go to the bathroom in the dark without crashing around and almost killing yourself (or a nearby cat) yet the big cold box you hide the best food in is always filled with all kinds of delectable meat. Cats are impressed, but they’re sure they can still do better which is why they always try to get outside.
And people think their cats are just little, stupid persons.
May rodents of every variety find shelter in your home.
Excellent post!
Speaking of bumper stickers, I have a "Run Hillary, Run" sticker on my car...
Front Bumper!

This might answer THE question: “CAN Mrs. Bill Clinton run? (Only your front bumper knows for sure!)”
