This is an article from the Washington Post.
Cats arent jerks. Theyre just misunderstood.
Feline researchers say many cats are quite social. Yours might even want to learn a few tricks.
Here is a link to a gift article, so no paywall. I wasn't sure how much to quote.
I've been without cats for a few years now, but most of what I read in this article is true! Hopefully some new cats will find me soon.

My current cat is more social than my dog. He follows me around the house and wants constant attention.

(638 posts)1. We have an outdoor/indoor cat. Her name is Momma.
She comes in at night when its cold or rainy outside and sits next to us while we watch TV in the evening. Daytime she follows me around the farm. But sometimes she ignores us when we see her outside. Hi Momma!, well say as she walks by. She looks the other way and continues on, as though we dont exist.
