2. Human leaves, cat gets separation anxiety because their primary source of food is missing
- wl 6y agoI've seen cats bond with people who don't feed them. Some cats are food motivated. Others are affection motivated. Some are both.
- jschwartzi 6y agoI've had a cat eat my hair which is a grooming behavior they otherwise only do with other cats that they trust. If that isn't evidence of some kind of mutual relationship then I don't know what is.
