Cats are, undeniably, social animals, and are well loved by those who develop bonds with them, like Queen front man Freddie Mercury. Freddie very famously loved cats, lived with a bunch of them, and even left his most beloved feline friends a portion of his estate, so they’d be taken care of after he passed away from complications related to HIV/AIDS. Mercury’s love of cats was such a part of him, that even “Boheman Rhapsody,” the Oscar-winning film about Queen’s rise to fame, contained scenes with him and his cats.
They might have a reputation for being anti-social, but as I’ve written about for Dan in the past, studies show that if you’re welcoming and and sociable toward them, cats will reciprocate and cozy up to you. Basically, if your cat is anti-social jerk, maybe it’s just picking up on the vibe you’re throwing down.
In fact, cats are such social creatures that they will often times invade your personal space, whether you want them to or not. Their natural vibe of “IDGAF” seems to lend itself to them popping up, unannounced, wherever they want. Like when a cat just bolted out onto a soccer field recently, and everyone had no choice but to let that kitty have its way on the pitch for a bit.
It’s one of the ways cats can ingratiate themselves on people, and even if you don’t consider yourself a “cat person,” it’s hard to resist a kitty’s purrs and attempts at attention. Bored Panda recently compiled a list of pictures sent to them of people who don’t normally consider themselves cat-friendly being forced into submission by super-social kitties.
