    And most of them translate to some variation of “I want food” and “where is my food” and “Soon, I will require food.

      My cat doesn’t really care that much about food. Maybe it’s not normal, I don’t know. But he is much more concerned with the humans around him and food is more of a tertiary thing - after being around his favourite humans and comfort places

        Same with mine. Unlike most dogs, cats usually stop eating when they’re full and don’t care about food until they get hungry again. The faces and gestures he makes out of affection though… just the cutest thing ever.

        Cats get a lot of shit for being self-centered pricks (and most of it is pretty funny), but I feel like it’s important to point out sometimes how loving and affectionate they can be.

      “Soon, I will require food.”

      I’ve never seen anything to suggest cats understand the concept of “soon”. I think it’s more like “my food stockpile is inadequate, human.”
