A cat is a domesticated animal and it's obvious that they prefer living in a safe environment, or at least coming home to one, and bonding with their care providers (aka "family").

you forgot the most important point: food, that's why pets stay or regularly come back at that home (after smashing some poor wild creature for fun, it doesn't taste as good as their food made of 20% of worldwide meat&fish, their calories intake is about 20% of human, so that's billions of tons every year, shipping, pollution - pets CO2eq is around 2% of total emissions, concrete is 7%, personal cars are 20%, that give an idea of the importance)

  No i didn't, that's part of providing a safe environment. Feeding creatures food isn't manipulation, it's providing for their basic needs. If my parents had stopped feeding me, I would have left the house too!

    Every grown up animal can feed himself just fine, since forever, and also without your car, a supermarket and food shops, I wonder how long you can do it, animals know if you let them live in their natural environment

      And they know that it's much easier and safer to have it provided, rather than have to hunt for it.

        It depends, hens and birds in a field will prefer the tasty bugs & insects over the cultivated plants, many animals are happy with what they find themselves. A spider or lizard would also make a great pet, just like a plant Choosing dogs or cats as pets is probably the worst choices in terms of sustainability The total weight of pet dogs is higher than all other wild mammals, this is just shocking https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/environment/weight-responsibility-biomass-livestock-dwarfs-wild-mammals https://wis-wander.weizmann.ac.il/environment/weight-respons..., not even talking about livestocks which are 10 times higher mass than wild animals, and serve for 20% to pets food. The amount and type of pets is pure destruction and nonsense

        Obviously we're talking about cats and dogs here. Spiders and lizards don't bond with humans so they would not make for the same kind of pet. Your fact diarreah is a little bizarre. I think we're all aware of the horrors of the modern industrial world.
