Like… what do cats think of their humans?

“Lol this stupid human feeds me for no reason”

or

“This human feels like my mother”

“This human is a great friend”

or something else?

    They have no concept of “human” or “mother”

    Actually, they do. Maybe not in the words we use for it, but a cat can recognize their mother and can determine humans apart from other species. It may not be an complex psychological process of ranking them, but they recognize.
