Let me ask my cat. She just keeps saying Mao. I guess she’s a communist.
Comment on Mmmm... Yeah. It checks out.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 17 hours agoIf it were the case, how would one prove it or even show evidence for it? And similar question for if it isn’t the case, how would you disprove or show evidence against it? I’m not even sure how one would prove that cats have a concept of species.

All cats are communists, obviously. They have no respect for concepts of “ownership” and expect to be housed and fed according to their needs.

And according to their means they WILL return the favor in equivalent services of pest control and cuddles (cuddles and pest control may not be available in you area)

Yeah it’s so dumb. Cats obviously don’t think the things over ten times their size that walk on a different amount of legs are the same as them.
Further, another “fun fact” I see a lot (equally questionable) is that cats meow only to communicate with humans, not cats. But that’s mutually exclusive with cats thinking humans are the same as them.

my cat has a specific meow for each of us (including my wife’s cat) when she just woke up and is looking for a specific someone for post-nap cuddles. her “hey, Orange Dumbass! where are you!” is definitely a meow tho.

The meowing one has been disproven by cat-mounted cameras. They talk to each other.
