Study: Cats not bothered one bit if owners are treated badly
...The findings suggest that cats do not mind taking food from those who were unkind to their owners. The team’s experiments on dogs in 2015 found that canines were more likely to shun people who chose not to help their owners, indicating that they can interpret and assess people’s behavior.
By the way: I had noted that about two months ago, all our cats (3 house cats and five feral cats that live in our storage areas but we feed) and the feral cats in the neighborhood seem to have disappeared, and our only clue was that our Mamacat was found convulsing in the garage where she had hidden herself.
Well, we are now seeing a few feral cats when we walk our dogs (the plaza is nearby, and people tend to drop a lot of food, so they can eat this or the mice/birds that eat the dropped food).
one young cat is up on our wall looking in, trying to decide if she wants to risk adopting us because we have so many dogs around. So I suspect it is only a matter of time before the feral cats decide to move in and make themselves at home.
