Cats are tool using as well: we are the tool.

  We actually live in a symbiotic relationship with cats: we provide them with noms and warmth (and the cleaning of their litterboxes), they reward us with love. And the occasional thrown-off-the-table TV.

    I think we are rewarded with "tolerance" which we interpret as love, based on our perception of the cat; if it is our own we see it as love; if it is someone else's, we think it is a friendly cat.

    To be fair, many cats try very hard to reciprocate with food. It's not their fault we don't appreciate a nice fresh mouse.

      But we do in a way. Keeping the vermin away from our grains was probably the reason humans tolerated having wildcats around in the first place.
