Science and many instances show that felines are actually devoted to their humans.
It's common knowledge that dogs are proud protectors of their humans, sometimes putting their own lives at risk to save them, or spending the rest of their days loyally laying across graves of passed away owners. But can the same be said of cats?
Our feline friends are better known for being aloof and standoffish, but it turns out they can be just as protective of their human families as their dog frenemies. A recent event in Brisbane, Australia, highlighted this bond. A family cat, Arthur, fought until his death trying to protect his human family's two young children from a venomous snake.
The study highlights an experiment that saw 70 kittens and 38 older cats reunited with their owners after having spent time in an unfamiliar environment. It turns out, 64.3 percent of the cats directly approached their owners or nuzzled them, a similar percentage to when children were reunited with their primary caregivers, in a clear display of friendship and bonding.
It looks like a mixture of bonding and instinct creates closeness, and even protectiveness, between cats and their owners. To further prove this point, there have been extraordinary instances when cats have saved human lives. For instance, a stray cat, Masha, and kept him warm until emergency services picked him up. And as an emergency worker carried the baby to the vehicle, Masha followed them and meowed"pitifully."
