They simply do not do it for no reason at all like dogs or your own children, because they are not wired to give instant devotion to a parent or top dog.
Well that´s what I mean. I appreciate cats´ independence, didn´t mean I didn´t like them and have a relationship with them, but that kind of attachment can´t even come close to the attachment I feel for other people and that´s fine with me. Don´t worry, those cats wanted for nothing as long as they lived and that was quite long. When they died, I was somewhat melancholy for a day and then moved on. You´re sorry I wasn´t terribly sad? Uhm, ok, whatever floats your boat, buddy.
