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.

Kodi reminded me of both my fur babies, who are now at the Rainbow Bridge. They would meow and cry when I would go to the bathroom and shut the door, so since I live by myself, I left the door open.
I remember that from Child Psych too. Children cry for their mother when she leaves the room, they don’t realize she’s just in the next room.
PS both kitties knew when I would come home, they knew my car, and would be waiting in the windowsill for me, meowing. I always knew my girls were smart.
Hey look! A 50 foot long garden hose and a watermelon!
Wrong thread!
Dang! That sounded interesting!
Mine will be waiting for me at the door. Apparently they haven’t heard that they’re supposed to be aloof.
Cats are SO smart, and loving, too....anyone who says otherwise has no experience of them. Cats definitely have a strong bond of affection with their owners-slash-servants.
When I was a teenager, we had a big tom, and that cat adored my father. Every day, a little while before my dad came home from work, the cat would get up on his hind legs and just stand there, looking out of the storm door at the street. When he saw my dad's car coming, he would start meowing loudly.
It always tickled my father so much to see that little furry head watching and waiting for him every day.
