9.Tell Us You Have Attachment Issues Without Telling Us You Have Attachment Issues

This touching scenario dispelling the myth that cats are distant and detached contradicts the general wisdom. The scenario offers a complicated emotional dynamic whereby a cat has essentially enlarged its circle of trust and affection to include the boyfriend of the lady, therefore producing an unexpected but appealing triangle of relationships. The cat’s behaviour shows the advanced social skills of felines, who can keep their independence while developing close relationships with several people. The fact that the cat clearly prefers joint snuggle sessions with the boyfriend—especially during afternoon naps—makes this arrangement extremely remarkable. Since cats are usually picky about their sleeping partners, animal behaviourists propose that this kind of behaviour shows a great degree of confidence and comfort. The circumstances has essentially produced a legally enforceable social contract, giving the love relationship an interesting element of complication.
