Like do cats know that humans are bigger and therefore they don’t try, or do they actually like us?

And does a human yawning look like a tiger opening their mouth, or do they know that the human won’t eat them?

🤔

(sorry if this question was weird 😅)

    Cats can definately see that we are much larger than them, but don’t think they are threatend by us, we mostly act predictably, we grow to understand them and their needs.

    As for yawning, cats yawn as well, and that doesn’t signal an attack.

    A cat express their emotion primarily through their ears and secondarily through their tail.

    We don’t have as expressive ears, nor a a tail, true, but we act in different ways which a cat can learn and feel comfortable with.

      It absolutely does!!! Any kitty that yawns is just too cute, and will therefore recieve a snuggle attack!

        While that is the obvious conclusion to a kitten yawning, the suggle attack did not originate from the kitten.

          Nah. That kitten knew what it was getting into the second it decided to use “cute yawn”. This is a pokemon battle, and snuggle attack is my counter attack to “cute yawn”. Just like when the kitten uses “rub head on your leg” it prompts “human picks up kitten and snuggle attack”.

          Yeah, basically everything counter attacks with snuggle attack. Pokemon only have 4 moves, and I can’t replace “Feed” “Clean litter box” or “Talk about my day as if the cat understands english from across the room”. My moveset is kind of set in stone at this point.
