Pet owners can also tell you that most of what their pets do makes absolutely no sense

If my cats were human, they would both be in jail

One of my cats is pure breed, has never lived outside of a house, loves eating plastic, olives and chips but shows no care for fresh meat

The other one was a stray cat, she still hides food that she doesn't eat, because that's what she's been doing for the initial part of her life

In a way she adapted to live in a house, but she never learned that she's not been living in the streets for the biggest part of her life

So yes, they have their personalities, very different from each other They get bored, they enjoy snuggles (until they do not and scratch you for no reason), but can they process their feelings beyond reaction?

I'm not really sure they do in a very complex way
