Cats Domesticated Themselves?

Of course.

How could you think anything else. These little fluffs with claws knew just how to make us open the door and do their bidding. Oh but you thought we domesticated them because they helped us with our mice problem. Mice problem? Or was it the mice being chased inside....?

These cats were no fools. They knew just the right moves to win us over and become the ones feeding, brushing, and cleaning up after them. Here are some of the key traits they used.

Purring

That soft vibration that warms your soul. We feel an instant calming sensation. We needed them to calm us. And they knew it.

Headrubbing and Tail Wrapping

That gentle saunter over with a headrub across your calf and a tail curling around it. We feel a bond with them. They knew we couldn't neglect family.

Doing Silly Little Things

The joy and laughter. We can't help but laugh at the silly little things that they do. They knew we couldn't live without that unexpected joy.

In the end they won us over. Now we get the chance to save each other.
