Y'all cat is broken. Mine will sit on my lap and purr uncontrollably, emitting dopamine-releasing frequency. They know how to control us, always 4 step ahead.

Exactly. I provide food, shelter, catbox cleaning, pets, toys, scratching posts, etc.

They provide a soft rumbling sound.

It's a fair trade.

They provide a soft rumbling sound.

And occasionally show you their impression of dough-making, and loaves of bread.

It hurts so good.

Also, should they be in a mood to be touched, unimaginable softness.

My cat wanders around hissing at anything that moves and threatens the family all day. She’s a devil, except for when she isn’t. That’s at the same time every day, first thing in the morning. She gets on my lap and gives me love and won’t leave me alone or stop following me. Around 10:00 though, every morning, she’s right back to contemplating the murder of every other living thing in the house.

mine can't purr and does a weird heavy breathing thing instead. it's OK though I still get the dopamine
