But why do cats have a reputation for being so selfish? Why are they so distant from their owners? “Cats aren’t social animals; they don’t need a group to live. Unlike dogs, they see humans as a source of emotional security, but not at all as a refuge,” explains Claude Béata. In other words, “They don’t feel the need to seek comfort from their owner when they have a problem. Whereas a dog runs to us when something is wrong!”

This detail helps us better understand how cats love us , but also how we perceive them. More independent than dogs , cats are also more independent in their emotional relationships. That’s why they seem distant to us! In these circumstances, it’s no wonder they don’t jump for joy or wag their tails when they see their owner, or that they decide when and where to receive cuddles. Always ready for a scratch, a dog follows its owner everywhere, while a cat is only available at certain times. Petting is fine, but only when the cat wants it. It sets the pace! However, not all cats develop the same relationship with their owners.
Do all cats develop the same type of attachment to their owners?
Every cat has its own story and personality, and some are more affectionate than others. In fact, they exhibit the full spectrum of emotions. The most ungrateful cats don’t develop any bond with their owners. “Generally, these are cats that weren’t socialized with humans before they were two months old or that had a bad experience with one,” explains Claude Béata. With them, regardless of the owner, all they care about is food and shelter!
