    Cats remember the people who show them kindness, and sometimes, they repay these people with… more cats. 

    Cats are way more emotionally intelligent than people give them credit for. They see cats' serious, no-nonsense expressions, and they think that cats just kind of- don't care enough to notice what we're thinking or feeling, let alone do something about it. But this is wrong. The people who think this are people who have not studied cat behavior for half a second in their lives. Cats not only recognize kindness, they remember it. And then, they shamelessly use it. 

    Cats domesticated themselves, did you know that? We didn't need to do anything. They saw an opportunity for an easier life, a spoiled life. They saw that we were weak for their cuteness. And they used that. And they keep using it. Cats are so intelligent emotionally, in fact, that sometimes, they not only use our kindness for themselves, they use it for their whole families. R

    eally, the person who retold today's story on r/cats should have known the risk that they were taking when they fed this stray cat. They already have cats of their own. They should know cats well enough. But they fell for the trap. Show a cat kindness once, and if that cat turns out to be a momma cat, don't be surprised if you have a lap full of kittens within the week.
