    I read this, scrolled down, actually processed the words, and scrolled back up to stare at it.

    I stared until the blurriness from the tears in my eyes made the catperson’s eyes appear closed. Did I win?

        but it gives them happy thoughts when they trust you. you’re not controlling them, and if they really don’t want it they’ll let you know. many of them will be sad if you don’t pet them 3:

            that’s reasonable to not like them. i agree that selective breeding sucks, but animals like dogs and cats largely aren’t friendly via artificial selection. many can live independently and are just friendly because we’re mutually helpful
