Not true. I have a cat ( my little hunter) who would come up to me when I’m laying on the couch, and lay herself, across my hip and just purr and be happy. I fed her of course, but if she was really hungry, she just ask to be let out so she could get something fresh.
Ever find the head and hind quarters of a chipmunk in your living room? Yea, she snuck one past dad one day. Wanted to eat in.
I’m losing her though. Age and hyperthyroidism are taking her away and it sucks.
Our newest cats, Pepin and Casper, are still kittens. They are rescue cats and they are 3 months. Our other cats, Kittery (a Maine Coon, so it is named for Kittery), Penny and Garfield (he looks like the comic cat) are around 7 to 11 years old.
