there are two reasons why i reblog cat posts saying they're "me":
i deeply relate to cats in their behavior. they are cheerful little creatures who aren't afraid to meow for attention or bite back. they're tranquil in their behavior, pacing their steps, until it's play time, where it's hitting with paw time. i feel very afraid of people until they start showing signs of wanting me to be their friend, and then i go all over them asking for attention, sort of like a cat that's slowly trusting a human until they trust them enough to ask for pets. i love people sort of how a cat loves people: because they will give me praise and love
i've always felt alienated from other humans. i honestly don't know how to explain this, because i barely Know why i feel this. when i was a child i had a small group of maybe 4 friends at school, and we'd play together, but they felt so... "far away"??? like they had a whole different mentality to them or something. as i grew up the disconnect began feeling stronger and stronger, and the people i used to relate to started diminishing more and more until i could barely think of anyone that i actually felt like they were Like Me. it just feels like i'm an animal in a human world, doing human things and feeling animal needs.
