But... we're a lot bigger than they are. Knowing the cat brain, I don't think it would ever occur to the cat that we could have been any smaller. I hear dogs see you as their alpha male; cats see you as their mother. (They can have more than one mother.) You love your "kitten", you feed it and clean it and take care of it, give it affection, and keep it in line. My cat is more than happy to play the role of "kitten", no matter how old she gets. While she appreciates food, she also enjoys and seeks out affection for its own sake. Here's my kitty. ------------------ Isabel,clutchcity.net lurker since 1996 We are the girls from Norfolk.

That kitty is staring at your stomach, thinking about how nice your intestines would taste. Watch Big Cat Diary on TV, and you will see the true evil inside your cat. ------------------ I hate rice and beans!

If we are serious about this discussion, my initial thoughts are that I just don't think so on this if a cat were bigger it would eat you thing. I disagree. I don't think a cat would try to eat you if you brought it food everday. No matter the size, all a cat want's to do is a) Eat b)have shelter c) have sex. And that's serious. So if I'm able to provide those things for my big cat (skipping the sex part, although there is a nice joke to insert here) it has no reason to eat to me. I'm not a food source. I'm a source of food. The same thing goes for a gator or whatever if you ask me. Animals, in my opinion, are just as smart as humans despite their brain size. They are intelligent beings and if I'm providing my cat with food it wouldn't want or see a reason to eat me. Gators, Crocks, Apes or whatever are likely the same in my opinion. ------------------ humble, but hungry.
From the content of your post, I think you meant to write that you are just as smart as your cat. Don't kid yourself, your cat would like nothing better than to rip your head off and bat it around like a ball of twine. ------------------ I hate rice and beans!
My cat Sam was evil and killed my sister's gerbil. My cat Alain was angelic, and made friends with her new gerbil. They would play together - very cute. And despite a different cat having kittens, Alain was very protective of them. He would even help us out - when they got under the car, and wouldn't come out, Alain would look at us... look under the car, then get them for us. Smartest cat I've ever owned... ------------------ Lacking inspiration at the moment...

And...your point is? Dogs do the same thing....just on a more savage scale. When's the last time you heard of someone getting attacked by a pride of wild tabbies? Wild dogs, on the other hand.....have been know to prey on everything from livestock to small children. ------------------
