I’m wondering if cats think of us kind of like how a person thinks of a friendly bull: aware that they could easily kill us, but not necessarily afraid of them; or more like a large Dalmatian: they could fuck us up, but most of us don’t really think about that unless they’re being aggressive.

I grew up with dogs and feel like I understand them a lot better than I do cats as a whole. I adopted my cat almost four years ago and I feel like I get her pretty well, but I don’t really have an idea of what she thinks about me. I also don’t really know any other cats, though I’ve gotten along with strays and friends’ cats a lot better since I got mine.

And if I were the bear, yeah, I probably know I could kill that little thing as soon as I got hold of it, but it’s way faster than me and it’s made of knives. It’s gonna hurt me the whole time I’m killing it. Why risk it?

And also, the bear isn’t out to cause trouble, not worth the hassle to fight anything when you’re out exploring.
