Cats bond with their people too, study finds

Scientists say felines display similar ‘attachment styles’ with caregivers as dogs and children – but not everyone is convinced

“Your” cat really loves you. That is a fact,

the science says this is so. It is not an act:

the purring, the mewing, the rubbing your ankles,

which, when you trip, inadvertently rankles.

But “Puss” did not mean to cause you to fall,

she just thought you'd have her balance, that's all.

That you could, as she can, land on your feet.

(But if you did break your neck, she'd get something to eat.)
