Cats don't have hopes and dreams to be crushed, we can hardly compare cats to people.

- dangus 3y agoYeah, I mean, for the record, I'd absolutely love being a house cat. No job, all my meals provided, never any bad weather or threats to deal with, and I have a huge playground of a house all to myself. Would you rather be an Emperor Penguin freezing your ass off in the artic making an 100 mile nesting migration?
- marssaxman 3y agoPeople vary wildly in our fears and our desires, don't we? The life you describe sounds like my nightmare. I don't value comfort so much, but purpose and autonomy are essential. Perhaps this is why I like cats, though I've never wanted to own one (they keep showing up in my life anyway, via housemates and partners): they seem like independent beings, tolerant of humans for the services they provide, but pursuing their own interests; wild creatures, only pretending to be domesticated. I've yet to meet the cat who loves indoor life so much they won't bolt for the door if it's left open.
