And also that cats think we are cats, but not very good at it, which is why they gift us kills or live animals so that we can learn to eat and hunt as they do.
Cats and dogs are territorial (which is greedy considering they don’t need hunting territory being domesticated animals). They will terrorize other animals for invading their territory (spiteful). They would absolutely do the same things humans do if they could.
