yes, cats are very curious and perceptive, constantly trying to figure out how the world works (and how to eat that bird outside the window!). just because they don’t perceive the human problem in this case doesn’t mean they don’t generally want to help. cats are social, just not the same way dogs or humans are, and they form habits based on things they’ve figured out about the world (the litterbox being a good example, a hybrid instinct & learned social behavior). my cat has figured out that her human and her canine sister are harmless to her and she can relax and even play and cuddle with us. she’s also food motivated, so can be trained on that basis.
