    You’ve taken an apex predator, evolved for the stresses of the tooth and claw natural world, fulfilled their every need and whim, and now all they have left is choir practice and occasional surprise attacks on unwary feet.

    Luckily my cat has realized she does not need to be loud to get attention.

    Just flop on the ground and poof! Humans fawn over her.

    Just want to add that a cats life is constantly in danger. See that piece is plastic over there? Near death. The vacuum? Absolute mutilation at any moment. Cats lead pretty exciting lives.

    My car constantly yells at me I love her to death but she does not help when I’m overwhelmed or stressed

    Oh, so this is why she makes these loud muauw sounds even an hour after eating her full ;) (No, she actually wants to play then)

    They require attention, like any affectionate pet.

    Dogs require a lot more, and they bark and stink. Then you got those ugly ones like pugs that literally are so malformed they require constant medical attention just to stay alive.
