Cats are special creatures. Unlike dogs, ancient DNA shows that cats domesticated themselves by choosing to cohabitate with humans for the food perks. Fluffy might look sweet and innocent, but her genes haven’t changed much over thousands of years, and sometimes it shows in bizarre ways. If your cat is emotionally unavailable, passive-aggressive, rude, and independent (unless they’re hungry), it’s because your cat is still pretty wild on the inside. Don’t take it personally, though. They’re still lovable little beasts with a lot of personality.
