Cats aren't jerks. They're just misunderstood.

This is an article from the Washington Post.

Cats aren’t jerks. They’re just misunderstood.
Feline researchers say many cats are quite social. Yours might even want to learn a few tricks.


Here is a link to a gift article, so no paywall. I wasn't sure how much to quote.

I've been without cats for a few years now, but most of what I read in this article is true! Hopefully some new cats will find me soon.

She comes in at night when it’s cold or rainy outside and sits next to us while we watch TV in the evening. Daytime she follows me around the farm. But sometimes she ignores us when we see her outside. “Hi Momma!”, we’ll say as she walks by. She looks the other way and continues on, as though we don’t exist.
