Can cats experience emotions like love and affection, or are their interactions with humans purely instinctual?
1 Answer
Cats are capable of experiencing a range of emotions, including love and affection. Cats often form strong bonds with their owners and can show signs of affection such as purring, head-butting, and kneading. Cats also form strong bonds with other cats, and can show signs of affection such as grooming and cuddling. Additionally, cats can experience other emotions such as fear, anger, and joy. Therefore, cats can experience emotions like love and affection, and their interactions with humans can be instinctual, but also driven by emotion.
